Hello,
3a → Keith joined the company 15 years ago. He was quickly promoted and became assistant manager after two years. A few years later he went on to be manager of the company.
j'aurais gardé le verbe 'become' = ...he went on to become manager...
What do you think notrepere?

Bernard02 hasn't given us any verbs in parentheses as in previous exercises. Unless the exercise specifically says (be), I agree that "to become" makes the most sense. I noticed that some sentences take the verb from the first sentence and use it in the second, but others do not. Bernard02, for #3a, is there a verb specifically specified? You wrote, "to be", why did you choose that?Réponse: Exercises to check de bernard02, postée le 02-06-2010 à 18:15:38 (S | E)
Contrairement à d'autres exercices, aucun verbe n'est imposé dans celui-ci. Dans certains cas, il me semble évident que le verbe à reprendre dans la réponse (après la flèche)figure dans la question (avant la flèche). Mais, dans d'autres cas (exemples: "bag", "manager"...), il me semble que je peux (ou je dois) trouver un verbe qui ne figure pas clairement dans la question. Je reconnais que j'ai justement hésité entre TO BECOME et TO BE, avant de choisir TO BE. Je vais donc changer pour mettre TO BECOME.
En fonction de ce complément d'information, pourriez-vous me dire si dans mes réponses, il y a d'autres choix de verbes (non contenus dans les questions) qui vous semblent à revoir?
Merci d'avance.

Hello:
I think the others are correct. Lucile was just paying better attention. Yes, "to become" is the right choice then if you haven't been given one to use specifically.
A mon avis, les autres phrases sont correctes.
And I would also like to commend you for your hard work and diligence. Your exercise is not even due for quite a number of days and you started early! It is always a pleasure to help someone who is obviously a hard worker and cares about doing a good job.
Très bon travail!

Hello,
Pour moi tout était bon à part cette hésitation entre be et become.
Ici il y a changement de poste, promotion; d'assistant manager il devient manager, ce qui m'a fait choisir become.Il continue à évoluer et à devenir, pas à être.
Hope it's clear

Bonjour,
Je vous remercie encore car j'ai rendu ces exercices lundi, après les avoir seulement modifiés en fonction de vos réponses (et comme je vous l'ai écrit dans le post précédent). Il en résulte que j'ai obtenu un "sans faute" sur l'ensemble de ces exercices.
Cordialement.
