My last lesson ?
I don't agree with gimglish, but perhaps am i wrong .
In my last lesson : you wrote about " i am not deranging you" that my answer was wrong :
This sentence is incorrect. If someone is 'deranged', then they are 'mad', 'crazy', or 'insane'. Literally, 'to derange someone' would be to make them insane or crazy, but this does not sound very natural in English.
In my favorite dictionary :
" • archaic intrude on; interrupt : I am sorry to have deranged you for so small a matter.
What do you think ?
Thanks for answering me.
