Word of the day

Columbine, Who Is To Blame?

5. public school
6. the police


I blame video games with being guilty.
i reproach public schools for putting the students aside.( put aside = mettre de côté)
i accuse the parents of being responsible for that bloodbath.
i accuse the parents of not locking their guns safely/ properly (safely = with security)/properly = correctement
the parents are responsible for not educating their kids.
i charge the police for not checking.(check = control)

GRAMMAR : MODAL PORTANT SUR UN FAIT PASSE
the parents should HAVE educated their kids.

HAVE entre should et part passé car HAVE est à la base verbale donc possible après un modal Et HAVE est toujours suivi d'un part passé donc possible ici .
TRADUCTION : Les parents AURAIENT DU EDUQUER = donc même chose en français AURAIENT = SHOULD// DU = HAVE mais ici BV et non part passé // EDUQUER = warned mais ici BV au lieu du part passé en anglais .

A SONG : TRIGGER HAPPY
translate = trigger ( gachette)
so be trigger happy = être un fou de la gâchette

WHY DO THEY USE GUNS ?
they are afraid of a communist invasion
they are afraid of robbers / intruders
they feel they sleep better at night /
they feel safer with a gun
it gives them great sensations/ a kick
