Escaping him: My　question is why it doesn't use "from" with "escape" and is use ing-verb. Escaping Him 彼から逃げる Today, I have a question about following sentence. Unfortunately, for both Kuralt and Hartman, there was a downside to meeting someone like Joltin ... escaping him. The sentence is from this site: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sales-legend-walking-in-different-shoes/ I wonder that "escaping from him" is a correct sentence. My　question is why it doesn't use "from" with "escape" and is use ing-verb. Can someone help me?
