How to use hone in a sentence?

  1. Copeland Bryan:

    Since coming on, I’ve had a few years getting to do some very interesting work, this has been an opportunity to really hone the skills that I had developed kind of from a startup and business development consulting world.

  4. Judy Norton:

    I guess at my core, I’m an artist, and so the opportunity to utilize my imagination, create things and share stories is what makes me happy and fulfills me… It wasn’t until many years after ‘The Waltons’ when I had gone back to theater that I had the opportunity to take on a role within a theater company as a writer and director. I found to my surprise that I really enjoyed it as well. And as you get older as a woman, there are fewer roles. So it can be a bit challenging to stay satisfied as an actor. As a writer, [my] age, sex, how I looked – it didn’t matter…. It was a great training route to hone my storytelling skills.

  5. Val Saengphaibul:
