Hello everyone,
In spite of looking it up in good dictionaries (including W.R), I still couldn't figure out if "dirty" (= make something or somebody dirty) can be used as a verb in everyday conversation. My question: Does "dirty" sound natural/correct in the examples I made below?
a. [Mother says to her son]: John, stop dirtying me! Look at all the mud you got on your face.
b. Take off your shoes or you'll dirty the floor I just cleaned.
c. When the baby poos he dirties the diapers.
Thank you in advance!
