Assignment 1


Omskriv verballeddene i nedenstående tekststykke fra præteritum til præsens. Marker derefter de omskrevne verballed med fed skrift.

But did her mother guess anyway? She would wonder that, years later. And did she blame the girl? For she reserved for the girl a strictness she never applied to her siblings, and a critical tartness of manner that made the girl feel constantly stupid and dashed. Though she didn't like to admit it to herself, she didn't want to think she was unloved. Fifteen years old, she sat on her mother's bed beside her mother as she got ready to go to a function, her mother patting her own hair in the mirror, taking up her bangles and asking, Which one? The girl was flattered to be asked and chose with care, a deep blue and a turquoise to go with the colours in her mother's kaftan, and her mother, pleased with the choice, drew them onto her wrist. An intimate moment, for which the girl was glad.
Elizabeth Baines. “Kiss”, 2019.

Prof Alston is an independent expert in human rights law and was appointed to the unpaid role by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2014.

Brug enten symboler [x, o, ⊗, Δ, □, ∼∼∼] eller grammatiske betegnelser. Vær opmærksom på, at alle sætningsled ikke nødvendigvis forekommer.

Special rapporteur on extreme poverty Philip Alston said "ideological" cuts to public services since 2010 have led to "tragic consequences". The report comes after Prof Alston visited UK towns and cities and made preliminary findings last November.

The government said his final report was "barely believable".

The £95bn spent on welfare and the maintenance of the state pension showed the government took tackling poverty "extremely seriously", a spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) said.

Prof Alston is an independent expert in human rights law and was appointed to the unpaid role by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2014. He spent nearly two weeks travelling in Britain and Northern Ireland and received more than 300 written submissions for his report.

Poverty in the UK is 'systematic' and 'tragic', says UN special rapporteur. BBC, 2019.
