Bonjour à tous !
J’espère que vous allez bien et que le confinement n’est pas trop pénible.
Etant donné qu’il est plus que vraisemblable que nous ne rentrions pas (ou presque pas) cette année scolaire-ci, je reviens vers vous avec des exercices. Il s’agit d’exercices sur les temps (temps vus et/ou revus cette année et les années antérieures). A la suite des exercices, se trouve le correctif.
N’hésitez pas à me contacter (afhumblet@hotmail.com / 0479 46 38 52) si vous avez des questions que ce soit à propos des exercices ou à propos du choix d’options, par exemple.
Bonne suite de confinement, prenez soin de vous et à … AFSeredynski
