You Asked Me This Question / "People killed in accident"
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:50:49 AM »
Is the sentence 'five people have been killed in a plane crash' grammatically flawless? In my view, for one to be killed there must be an agent such as an animal or fellow human being to do the killing. Consequently, I find the sentence incorrect, and instead the word 'die' should be used in place of 'kill'
