how did everyone translate 'held responsible'? I went for blamer


I put ils sont souvent consideres responables or something like that, I knew it wasn't completely right but I couldn't remember what the word was :frown:

devoir is always followed by the infinitive you didn't need to use subjunctive for expulser


The conjugated part of 'devoir' was, of course, followed by an infinitive. I think that it required 'rester', the confusion being inherent in the English: 'they should have stayed'.

The subjunctive was for a different question. I'm pretty sure you needed it for the one about expelling immigrants: 'Ils veulent que le gouvernment les expulse'.

I LOVED that question and did the same as you! How much did you write? I think I did roughly 6 pages


I think I wrote about 5 or so pages, but I do have BIG writing... it was a gift of a question though!

Remember that text about algeria? there was some phrase in there about a certain company being responsible/in charge of something... I stole that cos I didn't know what else to put :s-smilie:

Haha, my french teacher told me to always use texts if i can't think of a word. But I looked it up before and apparently the phrase is "tenu something or other" or "Blamer" etc, i think i put "mis en charge/place" or something which sounds hideously wrong, looking back on it :p:

How did you find the french to english translation? I swear the more translations i do, the more i lost my ability to write coherent english :laugh: my answer just didn't sound like "proper" english at all, reading back over it.

Do you think if I got about 60 in section A and wrote an essay I was quite happy with I would be able to get an A*? Or do you reckon the grade boundaries will still be like 95ish for the A*?

Well done! :biggrin:

I ended up with an A overall as well. 105 on Unit 3 and 48 on Unit 4. Pleasant surprise because I thought I'd messed up on the written paper!

guys do any of you use kerboodle? need to ask you a massive favour.
you really don't need quotes, the occasional small one is good and the occasional word but mainly it's inter-textual references that are key. You won't lose marks for no quotes
