Sylvester slept until 10:30. When he woke, he sat up and looked [   ] the small window. It was a habit [   ] his childhood. It seemed like half the year the window would be frosted over and he would have to scratch a peephole [   ] the frost to look [   ] the world. Today, he saw a few wispy clouds high overhead, and the yellowing leaves [   ] a cottonwood that had always been there were dancing [   ] the wind. The one thing Sylvester hadn’t missed when he moved away was the wind. It came [   ] all directions, depending on the season, but the wind he remembered most often was the one that came down [   ] the north pole. That was the wind [   ] winter. That was the wind people dreaded, but after so many generations they had learned to live with it. They lived [   ] snow that blew horizontally [   ] the plains and [   ] the town, snow so thick and violent that people died walking home from bars and cows were not discovered [   ] spring.

Assignment 1

Find alle verberne (udsagnsordene) i præteritum (datid) i nedenstående tekst, og omskriv dem til præsens (nutid). Skriv hele teksten som dit svar, og markér verberne (udsagnsordene) tydeligt som i eksemplet. 

Eksempel:	So it was settled...
	So it is settled...

So it was settled. They moved on a Saturday afternoon in early August. Stem and Jeannie’s Hugh, along with Miguel and Luis from work, loaded Stem’s pickup with suitcases and toy chests and a tangle of bikes and trikes and pedal cars and scooters. […] Meanwhile, Nora drove the three boys and their dog over to Red and Abby’s. Nora was a beautiful woman who didn’t know she was beautiful. She had shoulder-length brown hair and a wide, placid, dreamy face, completely free of makeup. Generally she wore inexpensive cotton dresses that buttoned down the front, and when she walked her hem fluttered around her calves in a liquid, slow-motion way that made every man in sight stop dead in his tracks and stare. But Nora never noticed that. She parked the car down on the street like a guest, and she and the boys and the dog started up the steps toward the house – the boys and Heide leaping and cavorting and falling all over themselves. Nora drifting serenely behind them. Red and Abby stood side by side waiting for them on the porch, because this was quite a moment really. Peter shouted, “Hi, Grandma! Hi, Grandpa!”. […] Nobody knew how Nora felt about it. At least outwardly, she was like Stem: she seemed to take things as they came. When she reached the porch, Red said, “Welcome!” and Abby stepped forward and hugged her.  Anne Tyler, A Spool of Blue Thread, 2015
