slain vs killed
0 I just want to confirm the following: 02 br
02 br
00 The drug lord was killed by colombian police. The slain/killed drug lord ... 02 br
02 br
00 It's incorrect to use killed as an adjective because kill doesn't have an adjective. However, slain can be used as an adjective for kill, am I right? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks 0-
