Hjælp til at rette engelsk stil. {{forumTopicSubject}}
Hej GG,
Da jeg lige er startet på en ny skole og skal aflevere min første engelsk stil derm vil jeg gerne sikre mig at den er grammatisk korrekt og der ingen stave fejl er. Kunne nogle af jer tænke sig at hjælpe mig med det? Temaet var "My Trip to" og den skulle fylde en side. Min engelsk lærer elsker hunde, så derfor valgte jeg at skrive om dem.:)
My Trip to the Animal Shelter
Yester day I drove bye the local animal shelter, and saw a big sign hanging on the building saying:
“Open house tonight, 18-21 pm. Come and find you’re new best friend!”
That was one offer that I couldn’t resist, I had to come and se the inside of an animal shelter. I looked down at my watch, it was a digital and said 18:30 pm. My heart started to raise, “was it too late now?” I drove fast into a parking spot near bye, opened the car door, and ran into the animal shelter as fast as I could.
The first thing I saw was a whole bunch of talking, laughing, coffee drinking and money donating people, walking in small groups around the shelter. A nice older lady came over to me and asked if she could help me with anything. “Yes” I answered, “can I get a tour around the shelter?”
“Of course” the old lady said “my name is Patricia, me and my family has been running this place for over 50 years”, “come on, let me show you around?” And so she did.
First she took me the puppy department. Lots of cute and sweet little puppies were bouncing around in their cages, trying to get our attention. “Each dog here has there own story to tell” said Patricia “some of them where abandoned and left to them self, some off them was abused, and some from the famous poppy-factory’s.”
I was choked, because of all the bad humans in this world, who just got them self a dog, to let it suffer under bad conditions! I felt like I needed to make a deferens, but how?
Patricia and I walked trough many rooms, with loots of dogs, and other animals like horses, cats and rabbits.
I saw a cat full of burn marks, a dog that missed a leg and many other terrible things!
All my live I wanted a dog. When I was 7 years old I actually kidnapped a dog, from one of our neighbors. I kept him in my closet to make sure my parents didn’t find him. He was living on cornflakes with milk for a week, but one day my mother discovered a weird smell from my closet, so she decided to cheek it out. Of course the dog jumped right out of the closet. So my mom had to give it bag to its real family. When I was 10 my parents aloud me to get a gold fish, and I was thrilled! One day I came home from school, and I was really hungry. I looked in the kitchen but there were no (good) food. So I did what every hungry man would do, I took a pot, and boiled some water inside it. Then I went top in my room to get the goldfish. That night, when my parents came home they asked me where me gold fish was. My answer: “you should start buying some real food…” Since that I haven’t been aloud to have any pet.
But now I am a grown up, so I get to decide that my self.
We went to a new room, with a big sign saying “Dogs ready for adoption.” Many people where standing in line, to get a conversation with the employees. They all wanted to adopt a dog, how wonderful! Patricia asked me if a wanted to come bag tomorrow and have a consultation with her about adopting a dog from the shelter. After the trip around the shelter I couldn’t do anything else, then to say yes.
So know I’m out side the shelter waiting for my consultation with Patricia!

Derudover skal du være opmærksom på you're / your da der også er fejl der.
You're ( sammentrækning af You Are ) - du er. "You're beautiful"
Your - din "It's your turn"
Og så spottede jeg lige hurtigt. "All my live I wanted a dog"
den sætning skulle så være. "All my life I've wanted a dog"
og ja, der er flere fejl, men orker ikke lige kigge. Sorry.

Og ved ikke om det er en fejl at du har skrevet 'know' i stedet for 'now' til sidst?
Har stadig ikke læst det hele, har bare spottet den lidt igennem.

og hvis du bruger 18-21 så bruger man ikke am/pm.. så skal der stå 6-9 pm
see ikke se
6.30 PM ikke 18.30
My heartBEAT ikke bare heart
Took me TO the puppy
puppy-factories
lots ikke loots
Jeg ville personligt bruge bunnies istedet for rabbits
all my life
goldfish ikke gold fish
I took a pot and boiled some water
went up in my room
where my goldfish were
But now im all grown up eller But now in an adult
Come back

Ikke at jeg er i tvivl om at du ved det, tænkte bare at når man retter på sådan noget, skal man ikke sjuske selv.
Og det lød ondt, beklager, det var ikke ment sådan...

Nu er det ved at være nogle år siden jeg gik i folkeskole, men hele vejen op har jeg meget konsekvent fået at vide, at sammentrækninger og forkortelser ikke er noget man benytter sig af. Det er direkte tale det bruges i (to mennesker der snakker sammen).
Jeg ville aldrig skrive en tekst hvor der blev brugt sammentræninger, jeg ville altid skille tingene fra hinanden.
En af dine første sætninger "... that was one offer I couldn't resist..." ville jeg omskrive til "that was an offer I could not refuse". Men man kan formentlig begge dele.

Pia: Jeg har så konsekvent lært at man kun må skrive "an" foran noget der begynder med a. Hvis du forstår?

Det er så ikke helt korrekt, ellers har du måske misforstået læreren (går ud fra at det er en lærer du refererer til).
Man bruger 'an' når navneordet starter med en vokal, og 'a' når navneordet starter med en konsonant.
Altså 'an orangutang' og 'a proposal'

Du skal ikke have komma før et "and" - du sætter heller ikke komma før hvert "og", det er enten eller.
An kommer som Sweet Leaf siger, før en vokal og ikke blot noget med a.
Ovenstående var blot en hurtig gennemgang og der er muligvis fejl jeg ikke har fået rettet.
- Men det var sguda en bizar historie!

Så har du lært noget forkert
Du sætter <b>a</b> foran ord der starter med en konsonant, og <b>an</b> foran noget der starter med en vokal.
Der skal altså altid være en konsonant mellem to vokaler
Men der er så undtagelser til reglen
Hvis et ord starter med en vokal, men lyder som en konsonant, skal der stå "a" foran. F.eks. A university. Her starter ordet med en J lyd.

Hvis du bruger word, er der jo en indbygget ordbog. Det kræver godt nok at du selv kan en del, for den kommer med en masse forslag, men det er en rigtig god måde at fange fejl på.
Og så holder jeg stadig på at du skal holde dig helt fra sammentrækninger og forkortelser. Det er udelukkende noget der benyttes i direkte tale, ikke noget man benytter i en tekst uden direkte tale. (Hvis man vel og mærke ønsker at skrive korrekt engelsk. I en dansk stil ville man heller ikke benytte forkortelser e.l.)

enig i det med at bruge taleforkortelser, det ser grimt ud i en stil... det kan fint bruges til online chat dog.

- Dvs. man må ikke skrive "don't" det ene sted og næste gang skrive "do not" - man skal holde sig til enten eller.
Men enig, det pæneste er da at skrive det fulde ord

Det står der faktisk også
Pauline:
Det er jo fordi du skal kende ordet, og ikke bare rette løs. Derfor bliver du nok også nødt til at få fat i en ordbog. Man kan få gyldendals ordbøger til computeren.
Rollo's:
Det er meget muligt
Men når jeg sidder og tænker fortsat brug af engelsk i skolesammenhæng, så bliver man bare punket til at skrive uden sammentrækninger. Hvis man nu ender på uni, ser det også underligt ud hvis artikler skrives med sammentrækninger
