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: Out of nowhere you are suddenly…

Out of nowhere you were suddenly…



Out of nowhere you are suddenly awake, heart pounding.
     Nothing. The baby is next to you in the bed, asleep. In the orange glow of the salt lamp, the room’s shadows are still.
     There is no noise from your son’s room.
     The baby whimpers. Sometimes you wake a second before her, as if your body knows. That’s what the baby blogs say, the ones that say co-sleeping is fine. A mother’s instincts will keep you both safe. […] You lie completely motionless, waiting to see which way she will go.
     And that is when you hear it again.
     It’s the creak of a footstep in the wooden hallway, the sound of a footstep that is trying not to creak.
     No.
     You wait.
     You know the ley lines of the flat, the trusted, navigable paths. The faulty joists in the timber flooring, guaranteed to wake a sleeping baby, even when that baby will sleep through the full blare of police sirens on the road outside.
     Again, nothing – although now the nothing is charged. […]
     Your breathing sounds noisy. Your heart, too, leaping like a trapped thing in your chest.
     The baby snuffles and rustles and turns on to her tummy.
