SUITE ET FIN:
Will the police investigate this crime? -> Answer: Yes, they will, the police must investigate that sort of crime.
How will they investigate? What will they do? -> Answer: I think they will speak to the boys' parents who are still responsible for the boys as they are minors.
Do you think the police will catch the two boys? -> Answer: yes, they will.
If they do, what crime will they be charged with? -> Answer: they will both be charged with burglary.
Can the boys sent to prison? -> Answer: no, I don't think so because it's only a burglary and not a murder and because of their age.
What do you think the sentence would be? Do you think this is the correct sentence?
-> I think they should be sent to a juveniles camp, or sentenced to community service. And I think it would be a good sentence for young delinquents because it's not good for them to be sent to a real prison.

Bonsoir,
peu d'erreurs....
it's the police who must investigate crimes.
Je trouve ls structure "it's ......who" assez maladroite, sauf erreur, un anglais accentuerait le sujet et dirait:
The POLICE must investigate crimes.
juvenile camp ou camps for juveniles, le premier élément d'un nom composé est invariable:
shoe-laces are laces for your shoes.
a toothbrush is a brush for your teeth.
a class-room usually accommodates six or seven classes a day.

Bonsoir,
merci pour vos réponses Gerondif, mais pour "juvenile camp" je pense que je peux me contenter de mettre le nom "juvenile" au singulier, et que je n'ai pas à ajouter un trait d'union entre ces deux mots, contrairement à certains noms composés tels que "fifteen-year-old boys" par exemple.
Sommes-nous d'accord?
Merci pour votre aide.

en effet !
extrait du dictionnaire en ligne:
He was tried as a minor and sentenced to six months in juvenile hall.(sans trait d'union!)

merci, mais est-ce que vous voulez dire que je devrais plutôt remplacer "juvenile camp" par "juvenile hall" (dans le contexte)?
Réponse: Law and trial /fin de gerondif, postée le 18-01-2012 à 16:13:20 (S | E)
Bonjour,
les deux sont sans doute corrects, je ne connaissais pas juvenile hall avant de cliquer sur juvenile.
