Break off, break up
Hi,
1) “The line is breaking off or breaking up.” I’m in the metro where the reception is very bad.
2) Could I use the word ‘hone’ in a casual conversation?
“I wanted to get promoted, so I spent the whole last month honing my skills.”
“I wanted to become a tennis team member, so I spent the whole summer honing my skills.”
I know that I can say it differently, but I want to know if these two examples would work.
Thank you.
