Hi!
Zur Ehrenrettung von uns deutschen Englischlehrern: So gut wie identische Sätze finden sich in meinen Uniordnern aus sprachpraktischen Kursen von English native speakers :smiley: .
Ich fürchte, Kreativität kommt bei diesen dämlichen Einsetzübungen zu kurz.
Viele Grüße

-He (nerver be) has never been afraid to take on the challenging roles, such as Hamlet and The Man without a Face, which also (mark) marked his directional debut.

  • Gibson (live) has been living with the same woman for over twenty years - his wife Robyn, whom he (marry) married in 1980. Up to the present time, they have seven children.

grammatisch: In Ordnung.
Inhaltlich: Ganz schön out of date. :smile:

    twenty years - his wife Robyn, whom he (marry) married in
  1. Up to the present time, they have seven children.

Mad Max & Robyn trennten sich in 1996 (offenbar weil er seine ähm…Fortpflanzungsfähigkeit auch ausserhalb der Ehe bewiesen hat) und sind seit 2011 geschieden.
