la tenda Anglais:

Draw the curtains.

She hung a curtain over the window.

A curtain of mist blocked our view.

An iron curtain has descended across the Continent.

The untimely death of my wife has brought down the curtain on over 50 years of happily married life.

The curtain fell amid the wild applause of the audience.

To our amusement, the curtain began to rise ahead of time.

Your impetuous remarks about us seem to have rung down the curtain on our good relationship.

Both leaders should be brought together to bring down the curtain on generations of feuding between the two clans.

I waited for the curtain to rise with my heart beating in excitement.

The world seen through the lace curtain was dark.

In early youth, as we contemplate our coming life, we are like children in a theatre before the curtain is raised, sitting there in high spirits and eagerly waiting for the play to begin.

We always close curtains at night.

It was ten in the morning but the curtains were stillclosed

Could you draw the curtains? I'll open the curtains.

Tom had some money stolen from his tent.

The bear began tearing at the tent.

Dark as it was, we managed to find our way back to our tent.

You're the only person I know besides me who would prefer to live in a tent.

Tom lived in a tent next to the river while he attended summer school.

How will they get through the cold winter in that tent?

Tom pitched the tent while Mary started the fire.

To pitch a tent

She tried to get a tent, but she couldn't find the one she wanted.

They were looking for a place at which they could pitch the tent.

She gave an illustration of how to pitch a tent.

We took two tents, sleeping bags, a folding table and some chairs, air-mattresses, some fishing tackle, stove, pots and pans and many other useful things.

There was a hole in the tent and we got wet in the night when it started raining.

A boy about twelve years old knocked on the front supporting pole of the tent.

In the tent we talked and talked.
