Rejoice and Retaliated
Hey guys,
I have questions about how to use these two words properly. Would you correct me if my statement does not make any sense.
Rejoice: (V)
Everybody rejoice when they hear that I have finally received a job offer with good pay.
Retaliated: verb + to or against
I retaliated against those who bully my friends with water balloon attack
AND
When John kicked Jake out of his property, he was afriad of Jake retaliation on his vehicle.
For the latter sentence, does it have the same meaning as:
Jake took a revenge on John's vehicle after he was told to move out of John's property.

'Property' calls for 'move off'. However, if you use 'house', for instance, 'move out' is called for. They collocate differently. 'Walk out' and 'walk off' have their own uses. Do you have a sentence in mind?
