My sweet and respected teachers,
Can we use ‘‘to’’ after ‘‘mumble’’
For example: ‘‘He mumbled to me about something’’ correct?
‘‘He bounces me into going to the party’’ what does it mean?
Regards!
Hello Twilit,
- He mumbled something to me about going to the party.
— fine!
- He bounced me into going to the party.
— means roughly “He used verbal manoeuvres to make it difficult for me not to go to the party.”
Best wishes,
MrP
