Explanation
Hang means to put something so it is held up from above, not resting on the ground. For example, she hung her coat on the wall hook. It can also mean to stay in the air, like the clouds hung low in the sky. It can also mean to spend time around someone (informal), like they hang out after school. So “hang” can describe putting things up, something staying in the air, or spending time with people.
