Comment parler de ce qui est en train de se
dérouler?
This document is a picture, more exactly a drawing. It represents an airport because
we can see the words “flight” and “gates” on the notice board. There are fourteen
people. In the foreground, a man and woman are sitting at a table and they are
drinking a cup of coffee while they are chatting.
In the bottom right hand corner, there is a family, they are sitting on a sofa/ settee,
they are waiting for their flight number AF2715 ( Twenty-seven fifteen ) to
Philadelphia. The boy is reading a comic strip or a magazine.
At middle distance, on the left, the woman in a raincoat is reading a newspaper. Near
her, on the right, a man is asking for information to a woman.
In the background, a woman is pushing a luggage trolley while she is phoning. In the
background, on the right, a man is buying a perfume at the duty-free shop.
Pour parler de ce qui est en train de se passer, on utilise le présent be + ing. Son
auxiliaire est be. Il apparaît à TOUTES LES FORMES. Il est suivi de la base verbale
à laquelle on ajoute ING.
