How to use "Threaten" in context?
Threaten
There are a few different types of threats: direct threats, indirect threats, and presentation threats.
Direct Threats
Direct threats are the most obvious form of threat. They involve someone making a specific, explicit threat to do something bad to someone else.
An example of a direct threat would be someone saying, "I'll kill you if you don't give me your phone." This is a very clear and direct threat, and it's likely to scare the person receiving the threat.
Indirect Threats
Indirect threats are threats that don't involve any direct threats.
