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 tydeligt som i eksemplet.

Eksempel: Bas lumbered over a crooked line…

Bas lumbers over a crooked line…

Bas lumbered over a crooked line of paver stones that led to the stairs, which he climbed one at a time to the porch. Bas held open the screen door to knock shyly on the main door. No lights came on inside.
    Reed might’ve forgotten all about Bas. He might’ve even forgotten about me. Bas went to the window, cupped his hands around his eyes, and looked inside. The train’s reflection ran in one side of his head and out the other. He moved down the porch to the next window. The train ended, and as it continued westward, the street fell silent. I heard Bas breathing hard as he descended from the porch. I heard each stair creak under his weight. I saw the railing, made of galvanized pipe, shake. Bas stopped on the paver stones, halfway to his Cadillac. From there, he looked across the street right at me, standing under the water tower in a moon shadow. But that wasn’t why Bas didn’t see me. He was thinking about Cheyenne, and wondering who she was with. He was conjuring, for himself, an image of Reed, which made me invisible.

On the tarmac at Heathrow the planeful of people waited silently to be taken into the air. […]
On one side of me sat a swarthy boy with lolling knees, whose fat thumbs sped around the
 3 
screen of a gaming console. On the other was a small man in a pale linen suit, richly tanned, with
a silver plume of hair. Outside, the turgid summer afternoon lay stalled over the runway; little
airport vehicles raced unconstrained across the flat distances, skating and turning and circling
 6 
like toys, and further away still was the silver thread of the motorway that ran and glinted like
a brook bounded by the monotonous fields. The plane began to move, trundling forward so that
the vista appeared to unfreeze into motion, flowing past the windows first slowly, and then faster,
 9 
until there was the feeling of effortful, half-hesitant lifting as it detached itself from the earth.
