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.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Non mi sarei mai aspettato che Bob si lasciasse coinvolgere così tanto in questo progetto.
Buon divertimento!

I’ve never expected that Bob let himself be so much involved on this project.

Hi Luca. A good effort but there are a number of problems with your version. Can I suggest you look at some of my other comments below and see if you can come up with a better solution?

Hi prof😊
I would have never expected that Bob let himself get involved in this project so much.

A good effort, Roby. The construction after ‘expect’ is like the construction after ‘want’. Have a look here: https://ingliando.net/2013/10/17/do-you-want-me-to-start-posting-again/
Also ‘never’ is better positioned between the two auxiliaries.
If you see ‘involved’ as an ‘adjective’ then you can simply say, “so involved”.
Try again?

A good effort, Manu, but first of all, “expect” needs to be more in the past: “I’d never HAVE expected…”
The construction after “expect” is like the construction after ‘want’. Have a look here:
Also, rather than adding “so much” at the end, you could just think of “involved” as an adjective and say “so involved”.

With this construction, Luigi, you must eliminate “that”.
Also instead of “to get involved so much” (which is okay), a more natural form here would be “to get so involved.”

There’s no ‘conditional’ in your first verb, Dino!

Better, Dino, but you need a more ‘past’ form here: “I would never have expected…”

That’s true, I was focused on the match, and so involved… is more natural!

Also, if you think of ‘involved’ as an adjective ‘so involved’ is sufficient, without ‘much’.

Hi Ester, your version is perfectly acceptable grammatically and perfectly comprehensible (this is important). However I would like to suggest a couple of possible improvements from the point of view of “sounding like a native”:
“I’d never have expected Bob to get so involved in this project.”
