Word of the Week -40

CURFEW

I discovered this week's word while reading the BBC Online News this morning. A curfew is a rule that is imposed by somebody in authority. This could be the government in times of war or political trouble, our parents or in the case of the newspaper article I was reading, our football manager! A curfew is the time that you must be back home and it is usually at night.

If I don't get home before curfew my parents will punish me!

You can read the article on the BBC website to see what happened to Ronaldo for breaking his curfew.
