The difference between "escape" and "escape from"? Hi, I searched quite a while online and didn't find anything valuable about the difference between "escape" and "escape from". Can I say "escape a difficult situation" or "escape from a difficult situation"? Also, when I'm talking about "fleeing a horrible place", e.g. North Korea, which one should I use? Thank you!So according to the Oxford Dictionary, http://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/escape_1 is it correct to say: "escape" and "escape from" are interchangeable in terms of "getting away from a difficult situation", but the former also means "to avoid something unpleasant" while the latter lays emphasis on "to get away from a place or situation"?
