Hey there,
I was just wondering about the meanings of "linger" and "hover". I need examples about the use of the two words.

Thank you,
Basma

To linger is to wait around, or to take things very slowly.

To hover is to stay stationary just above the ground, like a hummingbird, or even an helicopter.
