Opgave 1
Find alle verberne (udsagnsordene) i præsens (nutid) i nedenstående tekst, og omskriv dem til præteritum (datid). Skriv hele teksten som dit svar, og markér verberne (udsagnsordene) tydeligt som i eksemplet.
Eksempel: | And I pound along…
And I pounded along… |
And I pound along and swing round on a drainpipe, sprint down another chilly side path sliced with blades of light coming through a high fence with brambles poking between the slats, then I’m out front again where I smack into a butterfly bush and butterflies fly up all orange and black and red and white and one goes into my mouth so I spit it out and I leap over the rockery and nearly trip up when I land but I don’t. Along I run past steps climbing to the front door, past the beehive woman’s window but she is gone now and then round the corner and I continue pounding back down the echoey holly path and I wonder if Jonah is gaining on me or if I will catch Jonah but not for long because now I find myself back at the back of Slade House, where the fir trees are thicker and bigger and the wall is blurrier, and I keep running running running.
