Hello again !
Here is the collective correction some of you are looking forward to having and studying ...
I just wanted to tell you how glad it makes me to see some (most) of you working with so much motivation and determination. I'm really glad to see many of you making progress from one work to another ... and thank you for all the questions (some tricky ones) which sometimes forced me to think a little deeper and ask British people more about the language we practise and love.
Well, here's the correction ...
1) I have never heard such a talented musician.

2) When you don’t sleep much, you feel exhausted.

3)Someone made him take the money from the safe.
He was made to take the money from the safe. To make somebody do something => voix passive : to be made TO do something’.
4) As soon as he arrived, he called her.
Hardly did he arrive when/thaN he called her.
Le temps de la phrase initiale étant le preterit que l’on doit retrouver … MAIS il faut inverser le sujet après Hardly (semi négatif en début de phrase) => hardly did he arrived + WHEN/THAN (attention, pas that …)
5) I waited too long before I showed my driver's license driving licence. The policeman gave me a ticket a fine.(Well ! let's suppose the cop found I was too slow ...! )
I (+modal) + passif sans agent en 2è partie. I should have shown my driving licence more quickly, as a result I was given a fine.
6) “I saw her 2 weeks ago, and will see her again next Monday or in two weeks.”
She said that she had seen her 2 weeks before, and added she would see her again the following Monday or 2 weeks later.

DD: in 2 weeks => DI = ‘two weeks after’ or ‘the following 2 weeks’.
7) Her grandfather is 93. His moustache is long and white.

8) I’m sorry I picked up the phone when you called … I hate our arguments …
I wish I hadn’t picked up the phone when you called since I hate our arguments .
Regret = I wish + past perfect => I wish I hadn’t picked up ….
I + modal = Je n’aurais pas dû => I shouldn’t have picked up …
