Hello, Michelle. How are you?
Hi, Aubrey. I'm good. How are you? I'm great.
I have a question here for you. Did you used to play jail as a kid?
Yes, of course. I think it's always like, you're going to jail, you're going to jail. And even my kids now, it's always like, and he's in jail. I don't know why kids do that. Yes, we did this all the time.
There was like, one of us was the cop, and they'd like arrest someone and take them to jail, kid jail, and they were just in there. Yeah. Yes, we did this a lot.
Oh, my gosh. It's so funny how kids play the strangest games. But today we are going to answer a listener question from Samet, who asked this question. It may have been on YouTube. I'm actually not sure. But I'm going to read the question for us. It says, Hey, I'm Samet, and I've been listening to you for about a year from Istanbul, Turkey. So thank you for listening.
I'm a big fan of your podcast. Oh, and you've become my best companion every morning while jogging. Thank you so much so much for listening to us and enjoying the show. We really appreciate it.

Chapter 4: What listener question do Aubrey and Michelle address?
Thank you. Woo, this is a really good, very advanced question.
Yes, this is a great question. Would be very easy for lawyers and people who are working in courtrooms all the time. But for the average English speaker, they might have a difficult time just spouting off these definitions. So I'm excited to get into this today. But I also want to give a quick shout out, Michelle. Today in our community, one of our amazing students, Kimberly Gallen, said,
Told us that she checked her Spotify wrapped and she's one of the top 1% of listeners. She listened to All Ears English last year, 2,206 minutes. That's almost 37 hours.
Amazing.
And I know she's not the only one. A lot of you out there have, you know, you are also in the top 1% of listeners. You listen to All Ears English faithfully. And we want to give you a shout out. You and Kimberly. Yes.
Amazing.
Thank you, Kimberly. And to everyone who's listening, we truly appreciate it. So this is a really great question. So we're going to talk about these words and how they correlate to the severity and the order which things happen. And we're going to talk through that.

And guys, Lindsay will be back soon. So Aubrey and I are just having a little fun recording together today. Let's do it. So first one, accuse.
Yes. So this is the first thing that would happen, right? It's just to say that someone has done something bad. This can be both in or out of a courtroom or a legal situation. I could accuse you, Michelle, of being late or right. It can be about very minor infractions or you can be accused of committing a crime.

Chapter 5: What is the difference between accuse, allege, charge, and indict?
So it's good to have the vocabulary to connect with others over it. Should we do a role play, Aubrey?
Yeah, let's do it. Michelle and I are newscasters here talking about a criminal case.
Okay, here we go. You have to put on your newscaster voice. Okay, I'll try. All right. When Foster was accused of the crime, most said they didn't believe he did it.
The alleged criminal had no criminal history, but now he has been indicted and is being charged with heading a massive Ponzi scheme. More to come.
Okay. And then we get off the air and then I just say to Aubrey, I think he might be convicted.
Ooh, yeah. Don't, uh, make sure that's not recorded, right?
Yeah. No hot mics there.
The things newscasters say to each other when they're off the air.
Yeah.
