Remove something from something else
To remove something from another thing that it is joined to.
Vartosenos šablonas:
to detach [something] from [something]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *detach off* (e.g. *detach the sticker off the box*). In standard English, use *detach [something] from [something]* (e.g. *detach the sticker from the box*). Learners may also use *detach* too generally where *remove* is more natural; *detach* usually suggests things that are physically joined or fastened.
Sinonimai
disconnect (Often used for electrical or electronic connections like power, internet, or phone lines.)
Antonimai
attach (Means to fasten or join something to something else, the opposite of removing it.)

Sinonimai
assign (More general and common for giving someone a task or position; does not always imply separating them from a larger unit.)
Antonimai
attach (In organizational or military contexts, *attach* means to place people with a unit, the opposite of sending them away from it.)
