    Correction/phrases
    Message de tiramissou posté le 27-12-2011 à 15:22:15 (S | E | F)
    Hello everybody ,

    can you please help me to correct these sentences ?
    the instruction is: express the sentences differently; start as given: =

    the hotel where we stayed was very cheap
    = the hotel that we are staying was very cheap
    could you take me back to my hotel ?
    =would you mind take me back to my hotel ?
    we have to decide what to do tomorrow
    =we have to make a decision what to do tomorrow
    i'm sorry we can't stay longer
    =i wish that we can stay longer

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    "Start as given" generally means to begin the sentence the same way. I suggest that you change the verbs and the adjectives.

    The hotel where we stayed (v) was very cheap (adj).
    cheap = inexpensive
    to stay = to have a stopover

    The hotel where we had a stop over was very inexpensive.

    A vous maintenant...

    Bonsoir!
    Voici ce que je propose.

    the hotel where we stayed was very cheap
    = the hotel (that) we are staying (was)very cheap
    I suggest you replace that with where and was by is
    could you take me back to my hotel ?
    =would you mind take me back to my hotel ?
    The expression:would you mind is generally followed by an ING form(would you mind taking....)
    we have to decide what to do tomorrow
    =we have to make a decision what to do tomorrow
    i'm sorry we can't stay longer
    =i wish that we can stay longer

    I hope it helps.
