The meaning of DESPERATE

[Jesule]

Hi! How is it going?. My question is:

Can I use the adjective "desperate" with the noun "yell" to mean
extreme yells in someone who is shouting aloud because he/she is in danger?
If not, which one do you propose?

Ex: I heard his DESPERATE yells and I rushed to call the police.

Thanks a lot!

Yes,desperate is an adjective you can use when you are out of resources or means to reach a goal/purpose you are aiming for/at...when everything else has failed,when a situation is hopeless and no one else can help,then we say someone is desperate to do something...as a last resort.
