Opgave 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: The pump repairman was cautious. …

The pump repairman is catious. …


The pump repairman was cautious. He saw the dry rut in the lane and geared the truck down so he could take it through slow. The thin wheels of his ancient Ford bounced heavily, the road ridge scraping the axles. A few blackbirds charged out of the dead brush along the road and wheeled through the sky like a thrown handful of gravel. He wondered how far down the farm lane the woman lived. […] On both sides of the road fields of strawberries baked in the sun. […]
     Leafless branches reached out to snatch away his headlights. Billows of dust flew up behind the truck like a woman’s face powder, settling on roadside dewberry bushes that resembled thickened fountains of lava. It was an awful drought.
     In a short while he arrived at a weathered farmhouse set behind a leaning barbed-wire fence. He pulled up and got out. No one came from the house, so he slammed the door of the truck and coughed loudly.
