I

t tied in very well with a discussion I was having recently with one of my clients Luca Turi Vasile about the difference between 'to blame' and 'to accuse'.


Do you know the difference between these similar verbs?


BLAME – to say or think that a person is responsible for something wrong; hold someone responsible for an accident, bad situation or a problem.

ACCUSE – to say that a person did something wrong or illegal; to charge with offense, fault or crime.


The main difference is that you use ACCUSE when you actually say it, but you use BLAME when you think that the person is responsible for doing something wrong (you do not necessarily say it out loud).
