文法句型

accusing + noun [look / tone / finger / stare / question]

用法筆記

Almost always used before a noun referring to a facial expression (look, stare, glare), a gesture (finger), or a spoken cue (tone, question, remark). Used after a linking verb (e.g. 'His eyes were accusing') is possible but much less common.
