What have we done?

Destroyed our natural habitat
Abandoned our planet
Made so many mistakes
Altered our children’s world
Gambled with it
Earned so much money but
Darkened our future

Elijah

What have we done?

Looked for innovative solutions
Imagined ways to live better
Solved some environmental issues
Tried to treat our planet better
Envisioned our future
Not done enough though
Expected a brighter picture
Decided to take action

Conclus : On forme le present HAVE + V-en avec l'auxiliaire conjugué au suivi du du verbe. Cet évènement commencé dans le se poursuit dans le .
