hang up, put it down

Hi,

When I started shouting at the phone, she hang up and put the receiver down.

Is this sentence correct?

When I started shouting on the phone, she hung up. (Or 'she put the receiver down')

Thank you Clive.

I know, hang up = put an end to telephone conversation; and (put the telephone down means "keep the receiver back"). Then why you didn't put "put the telephone down" in your sentence after the "she hung up"

In the old days, replacing the receiver in the little cradle made to hold it disconnected the call. This was known as "hanging up."

You could put the receiver down on the desk or table, but not break the connection, and the other person could continue shouting, with no one to hear them.

These days, so many phones have "on/off" or "talk/end" buttons that you don't have to do anyth
