Assignment 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: Redundant. That which can be omitted…

Redundant. That which could be omitted…



Redundant. That which can be omitted without any loss of significance. Me. […] The envelope lies on the desk while the day takes over. Most of the smaller branches are being closed for good, larger branches downsized to agencies stocking shelves of glossy photos instead of the real product. I know these employees, understand their distress. When they ring, I want to help but I don’t know what to say. I’m in as deep in the same sticky mud as they are. At precisely 4.55pm, Viv’s computer sings its shut-down song. She stacks her work in preparation for the next day, picks up the mail from the outer office (because the girls forget in their rush to leave the office on the dot of five) and checks to make sure that there is nothing more I need her to do […]. “Good night,” I call to her as she walks out. The hum of computers dies away. The bright green lights of the photocopiers fade to orange rest mode as the early evening quiet seeps through the empty office.
