| He ENJOYS the victims TRAPPED "IN/INSIDE". |
1.- "enjoying". Can I use this verb in a metaphorical sense? I mean "He is glad, very happy... He laughs at them... ?cause he has trapped several victims"-- I don't think it is enough; it is the whole situation that he is enjoying, not just the victims themselves:
He enjoys having trapped the victims inside.
2.- What about the verb trap? -- Fine
2.- "in/inside" Which one would you use? Are both
correct? Only inside. In cannot work without an object (in the building).

Thanks a million!
And what about this?
1.-"All his life he?s been ENJOYING HAVING TRAPPED
his victims inside"
And this?
2.- "All his life he?s been ENJOYING TRAPPING his
victims inside"
Correct me, please!
Cheers! |
