The Danish verb “at skrige” and how to use it

Verb
at skrige

Meaning
to scream

Example on how to use the verb – Danish version
Mens jeg går gennem det hjemsøgte palæ, skriger jeg af fuld hals, da et spøgelse pludselig dukker op foran mig. Mine venner, som har advaret mig om dette sted, skreg, da de så spøgelset i går aftes, men jeg troede dem ikke.
Nu ville jeg ønske, jeg havde lyttet. Jeg har skreget i hvad der føles som timevis, men min stemme begynder at blive hæs. Mine venner, som har skreget med mig, har skreget så meget, at de næsten ikke kan tale. Vi skreg, mens vi løb ned ad trappen, og vi skriger stadig, mens vi prøver at finde en vej ud. Jeg har skreget så højt, at mine ører ringer, og jeg begynder at miste stemmen.
Trods frygten skriger jeg igen, da et andet spøgelse dukker op, og mine venner skriger i kor med mig. Vi har skreget så længe, at vi ikke engang er sikre på, om nogen kan høre os, men vi stopper ikke, før vi undslipper dette skræmmende sted.

English version
As I walk through the haunted mansion, I scream at the top of my lungs as a ghost suddenly appears in front of me. My friends, who have been warning me about this place, screamed when they saw the ghost last night, but I didn’t believe them.
Now, I wish I had listened. I have been screaming for what feels like hours, but my voice is starting to hoarse. My friends, who have been screaming along with me, have screamed so much that they can barely speak. We screamed as we ran down the stairs, and we are still screaming as we try to find a way out. I have screamed so loudly that my ears are ringing, and I’m starting to lose my voice.
Despite the fear, I scream again as another ghost appears, and my friends scream in unison with me. We have been screaming for so long that we’re not even sure if anyone can hear us, but we’re not going to stop until we escape this terrifying place.
