Hello dear here4u!
1) Don't worry about our corrections ! I'm sure we can all patiently wait for them.
2) Don't you think that keeping your fingers crossed could make typing even more uncomfortable?
Sleep peacefully, in spite of all your problems!

Good morning here4u!
Good news! Happy for you and for us !
For Lucile : have you ever tried to grasp a hammer with your fingers crossed ???
Réponse: Exercice mixte/ 11 de lucile83, postée le 15-08-2014 à 10:48:21 (S | E)
In fact I must say I never tried to grasp a hammer 
It looks like a horrible thing to me, just good enough to ruin my nail varnish

Hello !
Girls, you make me laugh !
Well, I did use a hammer (and a screw-driver 
). I'm now posting exercise N° 12 and the 'correction', which is ready, will be here around 8 tonight ...
Enjoy the sun while it's shining !

Hello !
Un petit contre temps ... Voilà mes suggestions et explications. N'hésitez pas à poser les questions sur ce qui vous semblerait encore obscur !
Merci à tous d'avoir travaillé avec et pour moi ... Votre enthousiasme fait plaisir à voir et vos gentils mps me touchent beaucoup ! 1)The boys are playing football - we'll have coffee quietly.
The boys are playing football, in the meantime ( meanwhile) we'll have coffee quietly.(= pendant ce temps là)
The boys are playing football while(pendant que)/that's why(c’est pourquoi) we’ll have coffee quietly.
Je n'ai pas trop aimé: ‘so’, ‘and’, ‘but’,qui ne sont pas des mots de liaison dignes de ce nom !
2) I'd rather sit on a bench - not go for a walk ...
I’d rather sit on a bench instead of going for a walk.
I’d rather sit on a bench than go for a walk …
(I’d rather + verb … than + verb);
instead of + ing = au lieu de.
3) That man is my boss - you smashed up his car.
That man, whose car you smashed up, is my boss.
RAPPEL : WHO is the subject pronoun for a person (=QUI)
WHOM = QUI (que vous avez employé) introduces a complement (par exemple = à qui je parle = whom I’m talking to). When ‘à qui’ indicates a possession, WHOSE is the right pronoun to use.
4) She's brought 6 friends with her - three friends are Americans and only one is French.
She’s brought 6 friends with her, three of whom are Americans, and only one (of whom) is French/a French person. (you must use ‘whom’ because ‘friends’ is for ‘people’. If you use ‘which’, you consider they’re objects !
5) Please, give me the dictionary - I left it on the table - The table stands by the window.
Please, give me the dictionary (which/that/0) I left on the table (that/which stands) by the window.In the second part of the sentence, you could omit the pronoun only if you dropped the verb ‘stands’, which you shouldn’t in an exam.
6) Tu me manqueras pendant ces vacances, mais je promets de bien m'amuser en plus de prendre soin de ton chat !
I'll miss you during this holiday/vacation, but I promise to have fun/ to enjoy myself, besides taking care of your cat.(in addition to taking care of your cat)
7) Ne me cache rien : soit tu me dis tout, soit je le découvrirai moi-même. Le plus tôt sera le mieux, et je ne te cacherai rien non plus.
Do not hide anything from me : either you tell me everything, or I'll find it by myself.(on my own.) The sooner, the better., and I won't hide anything from you either.(non plus = not … either)(the sooner, the better= le plus tôt sera le mieux. C’est bien une forme comparative qu’il faut employer, même si elle est précédée de ‘the’); not ... either = pas non plus.
8) Je ne te laisserai partir que lorsque tu m'auras dit où tu as caché la télécommande afin que je puisse suivre ma série favorite.
I will only let you go when you have told me (pas de futur derrière les conjonctions de subordination temporelles => le present perfect est, ici, l’idéal.) where you have hidden the remote ( control ), so that I can follow my favourite series.
9) Il ne me reste plus que quelques heures avant de prendre l'avion pour Hawaï. C'est une bonne nouvelle, non ?
I have only a few hours left before /flying to/I fly to /I take the plane to /taking the plane to Hawaii. That's/It's good news, isn't it?
(quelques = a few + dénombrable pluriel).(‘News’= les nouvelles est indénombrable => ne peut être précédé de l‘article indéfini et exige le verbe au singulier.)
10) Tu as raison ! Je n'aurais pas dû la croire. Elle ment toujours et il ne peut y avoir sur ce sujet qu'une seule version ...
You’re right ! I shouldn’t have believed her. She’s always lying and there can only be one side to this story. (je n’aurais pas dû = regret au passé). Au lieu du present simple d’habitude (always) le present en –ing exprime bien l’irritation ressentie. Toutes les variantes pour ‘versions de l’histoire’ sont satisfaisantes.
Merci encore !
et 
à tous. L'exercice 12/Mixte vous attend depuis quelques heures ... Il y a 12 phrases ... tout augmente !

Hi here4u!
Here is my work,
I did after a lot of mental efforts,
And atrocious pains,
Which made me constrained,
To take a pill against,
The huge headache,
I've got to comply
With your “consigne”
1)The boys are playing football - we'll have coffee quietly.
The boys were playing football, and we had time to have coffee quietly.

3) That man is my boss - you smashed up his car.

This man whose car you have smashed up is my boss.
4) She's brought 6 friends with her - three friends are Americans and only one is
French.
She’s brought 6 friends to the party: three were Americans, one was French, but, due to the deafening loud and awful chaos which were up in there, I couldn’t learn where the other two were from.
5) Please, give me the dictionary - I left it on the table - The table stands by the window.

Don’t hide anything from me : either you tell me everything or I’ll find out it from myself anyway. The sooner the better and I won’t hide you anything either.
8) Je ne te laisserai partir que lorsque tu m'auras dit où tu as caché la télécommande afin que je puisse suivre ma série favorite.

This is a good news: Isn’t it?
10) Tu as raison ! Je n'aurais pas dû la croire. Elle ment toujours et il ne peut y avoir sur ce sujet qu'une seule version ...
You are right! I shouldn’t have believed her. She’s always lying and she would have but only a version of the matter….
I wish you, thanking, a nice weekend.

Hello girls and Joe !
Don't worry, girls !
I like it when people talk and have fun ! Everybody does, don't they? as we're still on holiday, don't hesitate to let off steam and joke ! We all need that ! Joe is a very hardworking student and has re done his work trying to take my advice and devilish
demands into account ! The 'ideal Learner' ! . We've seen that in mps and may relax and joke before exercise 12 ! My dodo got burnt years ago .... Isn't that terrible?
