Assignment 1


Find alle verberne (udsagnsordene) i præteritum (datid) i nedenstående tekst, og omskriv dem til præsens (nutid). Skriv hele teksten som dit svar, og markér verberne (udsagnsordene) tydeligt som i eksemplet.

Eksempel: There was a band playing that night…

There is a band playing that night…


There was a band playing that night and the place was busy with locals and visitors to the Bay. I was glad of the company of strangers […]. Kat and Leah stood at the bar hating us. I didn’t care about them. What could they do in a place like this? We sat at a table on the far side, close to the band. It felt good to think of nothing, to have the thoughts pushed out of my head by the amplified music. But Mathilda stayed close to me all the same. It was like she knew what was coming. Penalties had to be paid. That was the only possibility as Kat and Leah saw it.
    Mathilda was pulled backwards off her chair by her hair, upending our table and shattering glass. Her face was pushed hard to the floor by the hand still tangled in her hair, and there followed several swift kicks to her stomach. These lithe and confident actions were accompanied by aggressive words I couldn’t hear over the band. Mathilda kept her arms wrapped protectively around her head, she didn’t fight back.
