To solve an issue

Dear all,

can some native English speaker confirm that it is possible to say the following sentence:

"We will solve this issue" Is the verb "to solve" the correct one?

and

Can patience be lost? or ran away? I mean:

"I´ve lost my patience" or "My patience has run away"

Thank you for your help

Hi, We will resolve this issue. This is a better collocation. I've lost my patience - Good and common.

Hi,
thank you so much.

On question about the second one:

"To run out" can be use only in the case I say "I´ve run out my patience " and not "My patience has run out"?

is "to run away" incorrect?

Thank you for replying

Best wishes
