Pour la question 3, c'est à toi de le faire, on ne fera pas ton exercice à ta place.

Tu as laissé passer le "should to keep" ? o_o

Règle générale : pas de "to" derrière les modaux !

Ah oui, je l'avais vu pourtant. Mais mon cerveau a dû être distrait quand j'ai relu avec mon stylo rouge en main

merci pour les correction, je posterai mes autres réponses plus tard. Pouvez vous aussi m'indiquez si mes réponses sont cohérentes avec les questions svp merci d'avance @ Bientot !

Même si on sait dans quel camp politique se situe le rédacteur, je trouve un peu déplacé le manque de nuance dans les déclarations A-E.

U2 je ne les ai jamais entendu prendre un autre parti que celui de la paix...

merci beaumont si quelqu'un aurait dautre élément a m'apporter.

réponse question 6 :

I think U2 song's is most clearly because his expressions are concrets whereas in John lennon song's there is expressions abstract.

question 7:

Which one suggests tiredness of a neverending, sterile struggle? quote relevant lines.

In U2 song's, quotes suggests tiredness never ending:

How long, how long must we sing this song ?

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?


question 8

Pick out slogans, insults and images of war and religion from the lennon song. what vieew of irish history does it give?
