I tried to keep my eyes open but I couldn't. On doit garder 'open' car ici c'est l'adjectif, pas le participe passé.

Bonjour.
To try peut être suivi d'un infinitif complet ou d'un gérondif.
1- try + infinitif = tenter de , s'efforcer de
2- try + V-ing = essayer à titre d'expérience, pour voir ce que cela fait.
I can't open the door. The key won't turn. Try turning it the other way.
The TV picture isn't very good. What can I do about it? Have you tried moving the aerial?
I can't contact Fred. He's not at home. What shall I do? Why don't you try to phone him at work.
I've got a terrible headache. I wish it would go. Have you tried taking an aspirin?
d'autres exemples:
We tried to put the fire out but we were unsuccessful. We had to call the fire brigade (On s'est efforcé d'éteindre le feu, en vain)
I tried to reach the shelf but I wasn't tall enough.(même remarque: j'ai fait un effort, sans succès)

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
je vous remercie pour vos réponses. Cependant, pourriez-vous me confirmer que tout ce que vous avez écrit en bleu correspond aux bonnes réponses, et donc que ce que j'avais écrit est erroné et à corriger (on doit bien écrire ce que vous avez mis en bleu, et pas l'un ou l'autre)?
Merci d'avance.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
je vous remercie encore pour vos réponses. Je vous mets ci-dessous ce que j'ai finalement rendu hier soir. Il en résulte que j'ai obtenu un "sans faute" sur l'ensemble de ces exercices (selon ma professeur d'Anglais). Cependant, il en résulte aussi pour moi que j'ai encore des difficultés évidentes pour savoir si je dois employer "to" ou la forme en "ing"!
