HELP ( urgent message, muss bis Mittwoch fertig sein...)

Beitrag von Claudy Raudy »

Hi guys, I have a great problem and even my brother who spent a year in Canada wasn't able to help me... you see, I really need your help at the following sentences:

1. In his opinion this rule was absolutely nonsense, he said I would get to know the facts anyway when the investigation ... finished

-> is it ... when the investigation WAS finished?? or WOULD HAVE finished?? it could also be s.th. different, but I really need to know how to write the sentence in a correct way!!

2. Is it: My thoughts came always back to Bobby OR: my thoughts always came back to Bobby??

3. I thought if any person in the world knew how I ... like, it was him

-> Is it: ...knew how I feel like OR: ..knew how I felt like????

4. what is the past of "to lie" ( liegen- falls mans auf Englisch so schreibt)



I hope many of you know the question and answer soon, bye for now,

In his opinion this rule was absolute nonsense. He said I would get to know the facts anyway when the investigation __ finished.

"is" wird verwendet, wenn "the investigation" noch nicht fertig ist.
"was" wird verwendet, wenn der Erzaehler weit in der Zukunft ist.

2. Is it: My thoughts came always back to Bobby OR: my thoughts always came back to Bobby??

der zweite

3. I thought if any person in the world knew how I ... like, it was him

-> Is it: ...knew how I feel like OR: ..knew how I felt like????

Am besten waeren:
...if any person in the world knew how I felt, it was him.
...if any person in the world knew what I felt like, it was him.


4. what is the past of "to lie" ( liegen- falls mans auf Englisch so schreibt)
present: "to lie"
simple past: "to lay"
(Amerikaner werden immer von diesem Verb verwirrt gemacht)
