## Vocabulary

You'll expand your lexicon with terms essential for discussing crime, such as **to get away with (something)**, **to cover one's tracks**, and understanding concepts like **the black market**, **an inside job**, and identifying **a person of interest**.

## Grammar

The core grammar focus is on using **modal verbs of deduction** to express certainty, probability, and possibility about past events. You'll learn to construct sentences using structures like **must have done**, **might have done**, and **can't have done** to form hypotheses about criminal acts.

## Practical English

Develop your ability to discuss theories and make educated guesses about complex situations. You'll practise phrases for expressing strong belief, uncertainty, and ruling out possibilities when analysing evidence from the video.

## Discussion

Engage in a lively discussion, applying your new vocabulary and grammar to speculate about various crime scenarios. Share your theories and justify your deductions with classmates.
