 TEST

1.Translate into English:

Se zvonea ca cizmarul e agent dublu. Se stia ca el calatoreste mult. Se spunea ca

stie sa vorbeasca nu mai putin de cincisprezece limbi. Atat japonezii cat si
elvetienii ar fi vrut sa-l fi angajat ei primii. Nici olandezii nici spaniolii habar n-
aveau pentru cine spioneaza. Daca voiai sa vorbesti cu el, trebuia mai intai sa-l
intrebi cum e vremea. Se vede ca asta era parola lui secreta si foarte putini o
cunosteau. Cativa polonezi au incercat odata sa-l rapeasca. Chiar daca era
cizmarul atat de naiv ca sa se lase rapit de amatori, tot nu aflau nimic de la el.
Nici o politie din lume nu izbutise vreodata sa-l prinda asupra faptului. Punea
mereu mesajele cifrate in tocurile inalte ale pantofilor pe care-i facea. Facea
pantofi doar pentru regine. Cand o sa fii regina, poate o sa lucreze si pentru tine.

2. Provide the passive infinitive, past tense and active continuous infinitive
forms of the following verbs:

to mow, to seek, to cling, to ride, to spread, to beat, to dwell, to fly, to lie, to lay
