In groups of one or two students, find a book originally written in English and its French
translated version. Observe the translation of three different sentences (events), each
containing one different English verb tense. Give a brief description of the background of the
book for an additional three points.

- Event: identify the verb.

- French tense: identify the verb tense in French.
- English tense: identify the verb tense in English (past, present future, etc…).
- Conjugation: identify how the verb is conjugated (base form, preterit, past participle or
present participle (drink,drank,drunk, drinking)).
- Auxiliary: all verb tenses in English have an auxiliary, some do not appear in the
indicative but still exist. Name the auxiliary.
- Even if there is no auxiliary, name the one associated with that tense anyway. (the one
that woud be used in the negative or interrogative form of the sentence)
- Modal/Grammatical: make the distinction between modal and grammatical auxiliaries,
check unit 5 (Avenues 3 Grammar) for a list of modal auxiliaries, all others are
grammatical.
- Meaning: explain the meaning of the auxiliary (if there is one)
- State/action: explain if the event chosen is state-like or action-like and justify.
- Simple/progressive: explain if the verb is conjugated in the progressive form or not
(ING).
- Present the book for ten points, include:
o Author, publication date, part of a collection?, summary, why you chose it.
