Question on 'pick up' and 'hung up' a wireless phone
Hi teachers,
If you take a wireless phone from its cradle because it is ringing, is it also called 'pick up' the phone?
If after a phone conversation, you replace a wireless phone in its cradle, is it called 'hang up' and 'hang down' too?
Thanks in advance.
