Why are you in anger

[Untaught88]

Hi,

Which one is correct when asking someone?

Why are you in anger?
Why do you feel anger?

 

[Rover_KE]

#1 is not used.
#2 is not colloquial.

Say 'Why are you angry?'

 

[Untaught88]

Can you please collocate the second one so that I can understand it better?

Don't try to find a way to use it. It's not natural. Unless you are talking to your therapist you don't usually say "I feel [emotion]" - you say "I am [adjective form].


Use "Why are you angry?" as Rover says.
