2.-My father used to say "behave like civilized people" but I think that in many cases we did not understand what he wanted to say to us.
3.-I think that in my country there are so many people so wrong that they would be happy if there was a civil war.
4.Sometimes I think that, a few years ago I made many decisions that only responded to a pueril behavior.

#5 Tactile

PS: Until now, I haven't come across the word Puerile. Thanks for this great lesson. By the way, I struggled to make a sentence with the word Tactile. I keep wondering why you skipped it
Good work!
Throughout VOCAB-ABILITY, I did not always make a sample sentence for all the words. Even if there were 5 or more words, I generally limited the number of sentences to 4.
Also, I probably could not come up with a suitable sentence for "tactile." So, now, for my readers, I have done some research, and penned the following...
The creature has no eyes, so it finds its way around by using the tactile appendages protruding from its forehead.
Thanks for the extra lesson. I appreciate this a lot. I hope I didn't bother you too much. Take care sir.
