"Après avoir jeté un coup d'œil, j'étais choquée."

Translation: After having taken a look, I was shocked.

[TimmyKilminster]

The "After having ..." construction is clumsy. In British English, one would say
"Having taken a look ..." or
"After taking a look".

[doublelingot]

It was rejected, but they do accept 'after I took a look...'

[TimmyKilminster]

I like your version even more!

After taking a look I was shocked. is accepted. August 22, 2020

What's wrong with choqué instead of choquée?

[SwervinMervin98]

Both should be accepted, since it's unknown whether "je" is masculine or feminine.

[NimMcCoan]

It just taught us that this phrase means "to glance" but then doesn't accept it as the answer for this one. Aargh!

[4MaryAnn7]

What about 'After having had a quick look......'?

[SwervinMervin98]

"A look" is accepted, but "a peek" isn't?

[waakak]

"A peek" might even be more true to the French than "a look", as "jeter un coup d'oeil" is "to take a glance".

[RobReid7]

"After having looked...."?

[kligeronic44]

I suggest one would be shocked ON having a look' not afterwards. But I'm not sure if this is the intent of the french version.

[jwhero]

"After having had a glace, I was shocked" was not accepted.

[TimmyKilminster]

Well, “glace” is obviously the first problem.

I wouldn’t say “have a glance” but “take a glance”, but I don’t know what DL would prefer because its preferred translation is “look”.
