Which of the following sentences is/are correct?
1) Is "to freak out" a synonym for "to go insane"?
2) Is "freak out" a synonym for "go insane"?
3) Is "freaking out" a synonym for "going insane"?
If all three are possible and have the same meaning, which would you use?
Thank you
@paok1970,
All three are grammatically correct but factually wrong. "Freak out" is a slang term for excessive reaction. The reaction might be entirely sane, whether appropriate or not.
