What distinction do you draw between “flight” and “fleeing”? To me they are synonyms.
From Cambridge.org:
> (an act or example of) escape, running away, or avoiding something: > They lost all their possessions during their flight from the invading army.
I was merely making the distinction for those non-english natives people like me who tilted their head not getting it at first :D
I think idioms that are synonyms of close concepts must be the hardest to learn in a second language. Can you trade any French examples?
