Small vocab use question: Deluge

Test Preparation
1

<p>Aunt hester was deluged in pain when she was shipped. The violent experience terrified Douglass.</p>

<p>Is the word “deluge” used correctly in the above sentence? I got points marked off from my English teacher who said it should instead be written as Aunt hester was “in a deluge of pain” becuase it can only be used as a noun. </p>

<p>My English teacher is probably the best, most smart teacher at our whole school, but deluge CAN be used as a verb…</p>

<p>Did I just use it wrong as a verb anyways?</p>

2

<p>If you use it as a verb, you have to say “deluged with”.</p>

3

<p>“My English teacher is probably the best, most smart teacher at our whole school, but deluge CAN be used as a verb…”</p>

<p>Apart from your vocab question, in grammar it’s not most smart, its smartest. not to be offensive or insulting, but i was just pointing that out for future reference.</p>
