As a native English speaker, I love the idea of BBC having a channel like this to help non-native English speakers.

I got help up in heavy traffic in this morning because everyone ran rampant and crossed the red light. That’s why I was paralyzed and police couldn’t tighten their grid on this dilemma 😢

Burglars have started to run rampant across Lila's town. One night, she was sleeping peacefully when a crash downstairs jolted her awake. She was paralyzed in her bed as she heard footseps coming from the stairs. Her door knob was moving as if someone was trying to open the door. She tightened her grip on her blanket as she watched in terror. The motion stopped and door was still closed

When I was in school, me and my classmates used to run rampant. My heart felt paralyzed after listening the news of my grandfather. The corrupt people of Pakistan has tighten their grip on our country to loot it and make it an awful debtor

Maybe the Prime. Minister needs to step down for Peace.. Along with the rest of His team.. Action speak louder

It’s important for the Haiti government to stop the rampant or it’s impossible for their citizens to have a normal life.

@yaakovhassoun8965 2 ай бұрын

I actually wanted to know what was hapenning in haiti not what rampant means...

@voltydequa845 2 ай бұрын

run rampant; paralyse; tighten grip; I wrote a comment, but somebody has deleted it. The deleters run rampant. I hope they are not going to paralyse me. Who is tightening the grip? Must think about other ways to deliver it.

The Chinese government calls on the U.S. government for fair competition because of the TIKTOK bill! We call on the Chinese government to open KZfaq, Google, Facebook, and Twitter to China! Fair competition!
