Hello everyone,

On Friday, we worked on imaginary situations.

We imagined ourselves in Aron's shoes:

Friday, October 7^th

(the seventh)

Identify Aron’s problems

Aron can’t sleep so he can be very tired / exhausted.

He can die from dehydration because he doesn’t have much water and the weather is extremely hot.

He can’t communicate with anyone because he doesn’t have a cellphone and the girls can’t hear him.

He can be injured because he can’t sit down or move.

What would you do if you were in his situation?

If he were in his situation, Winter would be scared.

If she were in his situation, Romane would try to release her arm.

=> Avec cette structure, on s’imagine à la place d’Aron.

Ce n’est pas réalisable, c’est uniquement fictif.

C’est pourquoi on utilise « were » et pas « was ».
