"You talk as if a god had made the Machine.. Men made it, do not forget that. Great men, but men. The Machine is much, but it is not everything. I see something like you in this plate, but I do not see you. I hear something like you through this telephone, but I do not hear you. That is why I want you to come. Pay me a visit, so that we can meet face to face, and talk about the hopes that are in my mind."The machine stops - 1909 - Forster

Sentences 9 and 11 are ok! How do you say "Cosa stai facendo?" in English?

Ferraris Matteo said...

!!!!!SCUSE ME!!!!! -_-" -_-" -_-"
I don't look at the mistakes!!
"Cosa stai facendo?" in english is "What do you doing?"

The tenth phrase is "stai facendo qualcosa?"

Thank you for correct me the sentence!
Hello teacher!

Hi Matteo! Let's go back to "Cosa stai facendo?" Well, isn't it a Present Continuous? Can you remember the present continuous rap? So, the right translation is...................I'm waiting for it!!!
Bye

Ferraris Matteo said...

Yes:
"The present continou is what i'm saying ,
grammar is the game that i'm playing.
The form of "BE" the verb plus "ING",
if you want to use it,just follow me NOW!"

mmm..."Cosa stai facendo?" is an action who is performing in this moment (mi sono aiutato col dizionario per cercare "svolgere").

So "Cosa stai facendo?"in english is " What are you doing?"

Hi Eleonora!! First of all, congratulations for your exam results! :)
Yes,the sentences are right...anyway, if you look at the screen,there's a "something" which is flying there..where would you put that?

Ele 3°B said...

I would put it at the end of the period number 8... I don't understand something...
Thanks!!! :)

Hi! I tried to do this exercise also.
I thing quite simple, but there is a sentence which I don't undestand.
If I write "I like that" I don't finded "I".
Then, when does put "something"?...
It isn't so simple maybe...
1)Can I just ask a question?
2)Do you agree with me?
3)Of course!
4)what are you doing?
5)Me too!
6)I don't undestand!
7)Don't worry!
8)What do you mean?
9)Are you sure?
10)Is there anything wrong?
11)......
Thanks! By the way: when are you on holiday!
In Brasil, perhaps..!I wish you that!ebe

ebe said...

I read again my post and I find a mistake:
the frase" when does I put...." it isn't correct because it is "Where do I put..." It's right? Bye
