Hi English teachers,
I am not sure how to use the word "discharge" in a sentence,please help.
Should I say" I have been discharged/discharge from bankruptcy"?
@Loh Jane,
You are using discharge as a verb. So the past participle is correct.
I have been released from prison. I have been driven to work. I have been loved all my life. I have been discharged from bankruptcy

But the Cambridge dictionary says "discharge" can be used as a noun as well.Please visit the webpage by using the above URL.
@Loh Jane,
Yes, it's also a noun.
There is a greenish discharge coming from the wound.
My discharge from the military was delayed.
