Renege
Is it correct if I use the verb "renege" in this sentence (I want it to be very formal):
"I don't renege on the promise I made before your poor father lifeless body."
Renegue in the sense of go back in his promise, renounce to the promise, voluntarily fail to carry it out, break his promise, deliberately fail to keep it, etc.

gamboler Is it correct if I use the verb "renege" in this sentence Yes, but make it "father's". Also, "don't" strikes me odd. I can't think of a context for the present, and I therefore don't know what it means, which makes it a mistake unless the context makes it clear.
