Notes pour l’enseignant

Proposez ce test après avoir travaillé la concordance des temps, les questions indirectes et les constructions des verbes introducteurs. Il cible les erreurs typiques du niveau B2 : ordre des mots interrogatif conservé dans les questions indirectes, « if or not » au lieu de « whether or not », mauvaises constructions après des verbes comme insist, admit, blame et refuse, et repères temporels non transformés comme « yesterday » ou « now ». En prolongement, demandez aux élèves de rapporter, par deux, une conversation réelle en utilisant au moins cinq verbes introducteurs différents.
