followed her to the front of the plane and he didn’t return to his seat for the rest of the trip. Anyway, we arrived safely in Seattle, and all the passengers got off the plane. At least, that is what we thought happened. I only learnt the truth the next day when I read the headlines in the newspaper. In fact, the plane didn’t stay in Seattle but it flew down to Mexico. Apparently the man in the suit – Dan Cooper – was a hijacker! He told the flight attendant that he had a bomb in his briefcase, and he demanded $200,000 and four para-chutes. When the plane landed in Seattle, the pilot received the money and the parachutes. Then the hijacker forced the plane to fly to Mexico. Suddenly, Dan Cooper put on his para-chute and opened the door of the plane. Then he jumped – with all the money in his briefcase! What happened next? Nobody knows… Dan Cooper just disappeared into thin air!

A rthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a scottish writer who created the well-known1 fictional detective sherlock holmes.

the sherlock holmes mystery stories, set2 in Victorian london, represented the good, the bad, and the ugly of British society at the time: its hopes, its achievements, and its deepest fears. sherlock first appeared in

A Study in Scarlet, published in 1887. Five years later, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was published and it was a huge3 success – both the readers and the publishers wanted Arthur Conan Doyle to write more.

English mag Unit 2

herlock holmes was a complex and moody4 character. A pipe smoker and violin player, he was famous for his ability to gather5 evidence using his outstanding6 skills of observation and deduction. his assistant, Doctor watson, was always amazed by sherlock holmes who, in the film adaptation, famously said to him: “elementary, my dear watson!” holmes was a man of his time who believed, above all, in the power of reason.

S“ When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

221b Baker Street is the fictional London address of Sherlock Holmes. In the photo you can see the plaque

on the famous building.

In the Baker Street underground station, the tiles are decorated with the

detective’s pipe-puffing silhouette.

ForeNsIc scIeNceSir Arthur Conan Doyle had a significant influence on popularising a scientific approach to criminal investigation. Today, there are a variety of forensic techniques – as seen on famous TV shows – that include the examination of fibres, glass, paint, firearms and the chemical analysis of drugs, liquids, fingerprints and many more. These techniques provide efficient tools7 in catching criminals for the London police, based at their famous headquarters8 called Scotland Yard.Read more: History of DNA Fingerprinting http://together.emdl.fr

A. You are the detective. Ask your partner at least three questions to find out if he/she has an alibi. B. You are the suspect. You were seen at the museum when the theft took place. Choose your alibi using the help box. Try to be credible!

1. Le prétérit simple décrit une action appartenant au passé, ponctuelle. • I saw a man who looked suspicious.

2. On emploie le prétérit en be + V-ing (was/were + base verbale + -ing) pour décrire une action en train de se dérouler dans le passé, pour décrire des circonstances. • I was shopping in the supermarket...

3. Le prétérit en be + V-ing installe le décor de l'histoire, le prétérit simple décrit l'action qui coupe, interrompt le fil de l'histoire. On emploie souvent ces deux temps pour décrire une action qui vient en interrompre une autre dans le passé.

• I was shopping in the supermarket when I saw a man who looked suspicious.

Les pronoms relatifs permettent d'ajouter des informations complémentaires à propos d'un nom (l'antécédent), de relier deux phrases simples pour en faire une phrase plus élaborée.

1. Lorsque l'antécédent est un humain, on utilise who.

• A thief is a person who steals other people's property.

2. Lorsque l'antécédent n'est pas un humain, on utilise which.

• A fingerprint is a piece of evidence which will help the police.

3. Lorsque l'antécédent est un lieu, on utilise where.

• This is the place where they found the clue.

4. Lorsque l'antécédent est un moment, on utilise when.

• The only time when he could have committed this theft was between 2 and 3 am.

Les question tags sont des morceaux de phrases ressemblant à des questions. Elles sont généralement employées, comme l'expression française « n'est-ce pas ? », pour confirmer quelque chose dont le locuteur est déjà quasiment sûr. C'est pourquoi l'intonation des question tags est descendante. Dans le cas d'une affirmation, le tag comprendra :

auxiliaire + négation contractée + pronom personnel sujet + ?

• You were at the party, weren’t you?

Si la phrase qui précède ne comporte pas d'auxiliaire, on utilisera toujours do/does ou did, selon le temps de la phrase.

• You speak English, don’t you?
