Now, according to the dictionary meaning, I cannot scold anyone here because, as Pheelyks has already substantiated, I don't have authority over that person.
you've mixed up my personal definition with the dictionary definition, which you didn't even read. how are you going to get better at English, if you don't study your vocab?
here is another lesson that may clear up your second misunderstanding:
the present tense can often be used to suggest habitual action: "Khan tends to try and scold newbies." here, the plural is used to indicate a group involved in a general, habitual action.
the simple past refers to a specific, completed action: "Khan tried to scold a newbie the other day-- it went horribly, in part because he's not very secure in the English language." here, the singular indicates the specificity of the past action.
the next lesson costs money.
in any case, your misunderstandings and attempts at holding your own in English are boring object lessons. the really interesting question is still unanswered: what did your parents do to you when you swore as a child?
