New chapter : crimes and detective stories

Hello everyone,

During the last three lessons, we discovered a lot of new information about crime.

First we started with this document :

                                                Monday, February 17th
                                                    (the seventeenth)

                The New Yorker cover : part 2

In the background, on the left, we can see the corpse of a man.
We can't see what the woman is holding, so :
according to us / we think / we suppose / we assume that she is holding :
                                               - a weapon, like a gun, a rope, a knife...
                                               - an object/an item : a telephone...
Actually, she is holding a gun so she might have killed/shot him.
We can also think that she wanted to protect herself from a burglar/ a thief hitting her husband.

Exercise : Translate in English :

1) Elle a peut-être abattu l'homme.
     She might have killed/shot the man.
2) Elle a peut-être entendu un bruit.
     She might have heard a sound/a noise.
3) Il a peut-être cambriolé sa maison.
He might have robbed her house.

Tuesday's lesson : we discovered new vocabulary, particularly adjectives concerning : weapons, characters and atmosphere.

Then we talked about the composition of adjectives : (à compléter pour réviser)

                     La formation des adjectifs :

- Adjectifs à partir de ..............., + terminaison ......... :
       ex : to content (VB) => ...................(ADJ)
              to scare (VB) => ......................(ADJ)

- Adjectifs à partir de ..................., + suffixes :
       ex : Cheer (N) =>  cheer + ..........      = cheer........ (ADJ)
              Gloom (N) => gloom +......         =  gloom.... (ADJ)
              Light (N) => light +...........  = lightl......... (ADJ)
