I flickered the lighter on fire? how to say this in English?He flicked the lighter on fire?
Flick the lighter works fine. Just: He flicked his lighter. is all you need (don't need on fire).
There are several way to say you turned on the lighter. They are: I clicked the lighter; I flicked the lighter on; I snapped on the lighter; I turned the lighter on; and I ignited the lighter. Good luck.
He ignited the lighter He lit the lighter He flicked the lighter to ignite the flame Good one. No matter what you say, it might sound weird...Just go with however sounds best. I'd say He lit the lighter.
I flicked the lighter on. It is assumed that if you flick a lighter it will make fire, you don't have to say the fire part.
Lit the lighter. Lighted the lighter. Ignited the lighter. Flicked, works as well, but it doesn't necessarily express that the lighter was lit.
