put someone in prison
to put someone in prison and not let them leave
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
to imprison [someone] for [a crime]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes say *"He was prisoned"* instead of *"He was imprisoned"*. Remember that *prison* is usually a noun, and the correct verb is *imprison*. Also, instead of saying *"They put him in the prison"*, it is more natural to say *"They imprisoned him"* or *"They put him in prison"* (without *the*).

trap or confine, not in prison
to keep a person or thing so they cannot move or live freely, sometimes in a non-physical or emotional way
பயன்பாட்டு முறை:
to imprison [someone/something] in [a situation/place]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners may overuse this figurative sense and create unnatural sentences, such as *"The long class imprisoned me"*. In many cases, it is more natural to say *"The long class bored me"* or *"I felt stuck in the long class"*. Use figurative *imprison* when the loss of freedom is strong and serious, not just mildly unpleasant.

எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
liberate (Formal verb meaning to set someone free from control or limitation, especially social or emotional; contrasts with being emotionally or socially imprisoned.)
