All about C. Week beginning 8/11/21.

This week's words are: 

Confiscate - to take with authority. For example, 'The police confiscated the man's phone.' The police are allowed to take a suspect's posessions, therefore this was done with authority. If taking is done without authority, it is simply stealing. 

Crucial - extremely important. 'September is a crucial month for pupils wishing to sit the NHGS exam.' 

Corroborate- to support or confirm someone's story. For example, 'The suspect's sister corroborated Alice's story- she confirmed that they spent the evening watching television in her flat.'

Happy learning everyone.
