Hi,
If I have very difficult homework to do and I spend hours trying to complete it, can I use the word 'wade through'?
"I just spent hours wading through my biology homework."
2) Can you indulge in doing something or only indulge in something?
"I indulged in reading a book indstead of studying for the maths exam."
Thank you.
"Wade through" would be used if the homework was long, tedious, and complex - challenging, but not unusually difficult. " You indulge in something, not in doing it. And that something is typically something pleasurable - a treat for yourself after doing something difficult.
