La traduzione, come metodo di esercizio nell’apprendimento di una lingua, farà sicuramente parte della vecchia scuola, però, inserita in un contesto più vario di apprendimento, soprattutto con feedback in tempo reale, può sempre essere un utile esercizio di allenamento.
Consiglio una partecipazione attiva e visibile postando la tua versione tra i commenti in fondo a questa pagina. In questo modo riceverai un mio commento o suggerimento in tempo più o meno reale. Ma per chi non se la sente, si può semplicemente annotare la propria versione e controllarla attraverso i miei commenti lasciati per gli altri.
Ricorda l’importanza di immaginare un contesto reale nel quale la frase in questione avrebbe senso, prima di procedere con la traduzione.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
Buon divertimento!
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
What do you think will happen when the others find out about it?
Very good, Claudio. 🙂
Hi Prof, let’s give it a try. “What do you think it’s gonna be when it has been found out (by the others).”
I wonder if I can use ” … when the others come to know about it” here.
Ops “what do you think is gonna be…” haha bloody “it” always find a way to fit in haha
What happened to “succedere” in the first part?
I think in the second part, you really need “the others” as the subject. Why are you complicating it with the passive form?
OK. “come to know about it” is much better.
(Better still: “get to know about it.”)
Ok, so, ” What do you think is gonna happen when the others get to know about it” Thanks a lot.
😀👍
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
Good evening,
What do you think it will happen when the others learn it?
Good effort, Rob y, but there are a couple of problems:
1) it ❎ – the subject is “what”
2) learn ❎ a) get to know (about it) b) find out (about it)
I see prof, thank you.
So…
What do you think will happen when the others find out about it?
😀👍
Good afternoon prof and thank you for these useful sentences
– What do you think is going to happen when the rest of them know about it?
A good effort, Nadia, but as I said to Manu below, “know” is not really sufficient to render the idea of “venire a sapere”.
What do you think it is going to happen when the others would know?
Manu, in the first part, there is no need for “it” because “what” is the subject of the question.
In the second part, there is no “conditional” but a straight present simple (proposizione temporale al futuro). Also, you need something more than just a simple “know” verb for “venire a sapere”.
What do you think is going to happen when 5he others know about it ?
Thanks Tony
[get to know]
🙂
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
What do you think that happens when others come to know about it?
Dani:
1) that happens → will happen
2) others → the others
3) come to know → get to know (ma “come” non è male!)
🙂
The main sentence is
“What will happen …”, isn’t it? That’s why I don’t need to use any other subject for the verb “happen”. (Here “What” is a subject question)
What do you think will happen when the others get to know about it?
Exactly, Dani! 🙂
Yep…
Thanks so much. 🙏
I love this exercise.
😘
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
What do you think will happen when others find out about that?
Dino, “others” needs a definite article, as in Italian!
“that” → “it”
Otherwise, all good! 🙂
L’articolo c’era, lo giuro ma….
Grazie caro Prof.
😂
Good morning,prof.
What do you think it going to happen when others find out?
The “going to” future is a possible interpretation here, Liliana, and perfectly acceptable.
However, I think “it” is perhaps a typo?
“Others” needs a definite article, as in Italian!
“Find out” is perfect at the end.
Ops😅I think at the second subject “it” forgeting “is”
What do you think is going to happen when the others find out.
Thanks,prof😊
Auto correzione :
“I thought”ho pensato ..quindi azione conclusa
That’s great now, Liliana.
(I was thinking about…)
What do you think is going to happen when the others will know about that?
The “going to” future is a possible interpretation here, Anita and perfectly acceptable. Watch out for the “proposizione temporale al futuro”, though. The subordinate verb (verranno a saperlo) must be in the present simple tense.
“Know” is all right as a choice but not great, because it doesn’t give us the sense of “venire a sapere”.
“About” is perfect, but “that” should really be “it”.
Try again…
What do you think will happen when the others will get to know it?
A good effort, Daniel. Watch out for the “proposizione temporale al futuro”, though. The subordinate verb (verranno a saperlo) must be in the present simple tense.
“Get to know” is a great choice but it requires a preposition before “it”.
Try again!
What do you think will happen when the others get to know about it?
That’s perfect now, Daniel. Well done. 🙂
Thx a lot dear Prof, have a great weekend!
And you. 👍
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
What do you think will happen when the others find it out?
What happens when the others see it (figure it out)?
Your first version is very close, Paolo, but you need to think again about how to connect “it” to the verb. Do you need a preposition in this case?
(venire a sapere vs. scoprire)
Maybe I got it, I’ll find out:
Cosa pensi succederà quando gli altri verranno a saperlo?
What do you think will happen when the others find out?
OK, this is one solution and a good one, too.
There is, however, another possibility – using “it”, but in a different way. I’ll leave “it” with you to think about…
