Grammar help please?

Hi,

Could you please tell me the right word for these sentences, please?

He has been corrupting/degenerating recently in his life. (Gambling/drugging…etc)

It is an outlaw VS It is outlawed. (Means illegal)

Why was it an outlaw? VS why was it outlawed?


Could you please confirm that my sentences are grammatically correct?

English engages much of my time. (More like “occupy”)

I engage in studying English.

I am engaged a lot of time in studying English.


Cheers
