Quá khứ: confidedPhân từ 2: confidedV-ing: confiding

This verb carries a strong connotation of intimacy and vulnerability. It describes a specific type of communication where the speaker grants the listener access to a private part of their inner life, creating a bond of mutual trust. While "tell" is neutral, "confide" implies a risk of betrayal and a deliberate choice of a trusted recipient.

There is a sharp grammatical distinction between its transitive and intransitive uses. When used transitively, the focus is on the secret being shared (confiding a secret). When used intransitively with the preposition "in," the focus shifts to the relationship of trust itself (confiding in a person), suggesting a general state of reliance rather than a single act of disclosure.
