Are these sentences correct:
1) The dictator was in rage to hear that his troops had been defeated.
2) The dictator was in shock to hear that his troops had been defeated.
I think they are fine, but I had a sudden doubt. I know we can say 'was enraged to hear' and 'was shocked to hear', but I am not entire sure that 'in rage to hear' and 'in shock to hear' work.
Gratefully,
Navi
