Asked by Amy

for the word "hiatus"

can it be used in a sentence that says:

He took a hiatus from his hobby.

(that sentence was from a website)
just want to make sure its right
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, that is correct. It would be better if you added something to it -- like
He took a hiatus from his hobby to get a lot of work done around the house.

it has other meanings also.

The surgeon grafted the hiatus in the forearm.

The word cooperate has a hiatus between the two O's, as does ear have between the two vowels ea.
