The young woman, Emma McCarty, vanished since 2 weeks whose the parents haven’t heard from her, was found dead one week ago. A forest warden found her in the Springfield wood who he works. It’s a student in a communication sector from Indianapolis (IN). She lived in the Columbus campus, she was found 30 miles from her house. The technicians criminal investigation think about a murder. They think she was strangled. The autopsy confirm this theory, the death should date from 2 weeks. The investigators recounted her timetable before her death : someone saw her in 2 taxi one week ago. It’s the last time that someone seen her. The taxi driver is suspected and he cannot be found. The police officers started a search to find the suspect. He was found in California. He confessed the murder without difficulty and he was placed under police custody. Before her disappearance, Emma went up in the taxi. The driver made her advances, she refused it. Offended, he strangled her to “take revenge”. After, he put her in his boot. He got rid of her corpse in the wood where the forest warden found her. He risks at least 20 years in prison.
Si vous pouviez m'aider en me disant s'il y a des fautes.

Abuelocansado is correct. I didn't know "boot" meant "trunk" .

Pardon notrepere, mais "boot" en anglais britannique désigne aussi le coffre ou malle d'un véhicule automobile. Il est vrai qu'il s'agit d'un taxi américain et que fann2music aurait dû employer "trunk" .. Sorry!
Bonne journée !

Bonjour,
Non, N.P. a raison, la phrase devrait être : in the boot of his car.
Désolé d'avoir donné la réponse.

Bonjour hughy,
Je pense que l'observation de notrepere porte sur le sens du mot "boot" et non sur la construction grammaticale. Il écrit bien "dans sa botte? Bien sûr, une très grande botte" ce qui confirme qu'il s'interroge sur le sens de "boot" car mettre un cadavre dans une botte impliquerait une très grande taille de cette chaussure ...
Je ne sais si "mettre quelque chose dans la malle" (en parlant d'une automobile, évidemment) se traduit littéralement en anglais ("to put something in the trunk -américain- in the boot -anglais" est-ce orthodoxe ??)
Cordialement.
