Hi all! My friend wrote the following sentence:



Question: Does "vanish" sound natural in this sentence? Does the sentence mean that " he promised he could do something to help, but then he did nothing and even didn't show up anymore."?

Hi Lydia Qiu, yes, "vanished" is ok in your sentence. Yes, it means he disappeared, I didn't see him again.

"vanished for a while" is better in this situation, I think
