F. Grammar practice: infinitive propositions


(=propositions infinitivescf.prcis grammatical33p.194)
IW. XII Observez les propositions infinitives soulignes dans les
noncs suivants:
1. ... her father, Yacob, wants Nunez to be examined by a blind doctor.
2. "You do not want me, " he said, "to lose my gift of sight?"
3. She told him to go and see her father.
4. It is sometimes dificult for us to recognize heroes.
Quelle est la forme du pronom (sujet) dans la proposition infinitive? sujet
complment (me, you, her/him/it, us, you, them)
IW. XIII Formez des noncs avec les lments donns. Faites les
modifications ncessaires.
1. He told (I-look after-you).
2. I'll ask (they-leave-you alone).
3. Do you really want (we- stay) ?
4. Did you really ask (she - accept that deal)?
1. He told me to look after you.
2. I'll ask them to leave you alone.
3. Do you really want us to stay?
4. Did you really ask her to accept that deal?
G. Grammar practice: the relative pronouns who and that
(=les pronoms relatifs who et that cf.prcis grammatical 38pp.197198)
IW. XIV Indiquez pour chaque nonc : a. quel est l'antcdent du pronom
relatif, b. si le pronom est sujet ou complment de la relative. Les
parenthses signifient que le pronom that peut tre effac.
1. The man who could see.
2. Those queer things that are called the eyes [...]
3. Here is the doctor (that) I've told you about.
4. The place (that) I have visited is very strange.
1. a. antcdent de who ; the man - b. le pronom relatif est sujet.
2. a. antcdent de that : Those queer things - b. le pronom relatif est sujet.
3. a. antcdent de (that) : the doctor - b. le pronom relatif est complment.
4. a. antcdent de (that) : The place - b. le pronom relatif est complment.

Remarques
On pourra rappeler que :
on efface le plus souvent that lorsqu'il est complment > 3. (that) I've
told you about / 4. (that) I have visited; dans ce cas, l'antcdent du
pronom peut tre humain ou non-humain ;
lorsque le pronom est sujet, on utilise who pour un humain et that ou
which pour un non-humain.

IW. XV Compltez avec who ou that (that peut tre effac).


1. This is is the message ______________ he sent me.
2. The girl ______________ is talking to you is my sister.
3. The people ______________ sent him there were crazy.
4. The only person ______________ we spoke to was a doctor.
1. This is is the message ___(that)________ he sent me.
2. The girl ____ who _______
is talking to you is my sister.
3. The people ___ who ________ sent him there were crazy.
4. The only person ___(that)_______ we spoke to was a doctor.

H. Grammar practice: would


IW. XV Dans quel(s) noncs would exprime-t-il une nuance de volont: 1.
2. ou 3. ?
1. "I wish sometimes... you would not talk like that."
2. "Oh, if you would, "she sobbed, "if only you would!"
3. If I accepted that, I would lose my sight.
Would exprime une nuance de volont dans les noncs 1. (you would
not talk) et 2. (Oh, if you would /if only you would).
IW. XVI Traduisez les noncs ci-dessus.
1. Parfois, j'aimerais que tu t'abstiennes / arrtes de parler ainsi.
Remarques
Ces deux variantes de traduction soulignent la notion de refus
exprime par would + not (le refus tant la volont de ne
pas faire quelque chose); mais on pourrait aussi simplement
dire en franais : Parfois, j'aimerais que tu ne dises pas de
choses pareilles.
On peut prciser que le modal would, frquemment utilis en
anglais aprs wish, reste souvent non-traduit en franais :
I wish you would answer my question. J'aimerais que tu
rpondes ma question. (Sous-entendu : que tu veuilles bien /
que tu acceptes de... ).
2. Oh, si tu acceptais (si tu y consentais) dit-elle en sanglotant, si
seulement tu acceptais (y consentais) !

Remarque : Would fait cho au verbe consent dans l'nonc


prcdent : "If I were to consent to this?"
3. Si j'acceptais cela, je perdrais la vue.
Remarque : Il s'agit d'un simple would de conditionnel.
