Is it ok? 'We escaped the danger.' Thanks

I disagree with Lance here. In my opinion “We escaped the danger” is fine and I actually prefer it to “We escaped from the danger”. Here are some examples of “escape” without “from”: Cambridge dictionary: She was lucky to escape serious injury. He narrowly (= only just) escaped a fine. Oxford dictionary: ‘he drove along the dual carriageway to escape police’ ‘It then swerved between parked cars as it tried to escape a pursuing police car.’

Hi Helen, There is a missing preposition "from" in your sentence. This is necessary to convey the meaning of separation or distancing oneself from something. We escaped from the danger. In this case, you were moving away or putting some distance between yourself and the source of danger, and "from" is needed. Other examples include: He tried to distance himself from other colleagues who gossip. Many prisoners escaped from jail during the riot. Hope this helps. Cheers, Lance
