MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Alias:-
    The name Salman was an alias he used to avoid the FBI.
  2. Alibi:-
    He had a perfect alibi and the police let him go.
  3. Alienate
    The latest tax proposals will alienate many voters.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Because he often used an alias, the crook was difficult to locate.
  2. Although he was arrested, the police released him as he had a very convincing alibi.
  1. If you punish a child without showing ever showing kindness and affection, you will alienate him.

I was about to give you a "7%" UpVote, but then saw another entry below.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. A suspect changed his name to an alias to keep his identity to everyone.
  2. My teacher did not accept my alibi for being late in her class.
  3. Her alienation from her family back then was because she disobeyed them.

Usually, we would not use an "alibi" as an excuse for being late, but as a reason to escape some harsh punishment for a criminal act. Still, your example is OK.

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Famous poets often use alias in their books.
  2. The worker always comes up with an alibi for being late.
  3. Boys always alienate the weakest student of the class.

Normally, an author or poet would use a "pen name." The word alias is usually used to actually HIDE one's true identity, possibly for fear of having one's identity found out.

owh..!!!!
thx for the correction..!! 🙌

MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. Alias
    After searching on Internet, it looks like the only alias I had on planet earth died 10 years ago in United Kingdom.

  2. Alibi
    I try to not write many information in my Messenger Chat, because I don't want to be traced while I make stories to build up an alibi for my secret lovers.

  3. Alienate
    My boyfriend zones out quite often, alienating himself from the world around, which makes it hard to understand what he's really thinking.

For your first example, it seems as if you believe the meaning to be "another person with your name." If that's so, your understanding is slightly off.

Still, when I read your sentence, I can understand what you are trying to say. So, you get an A+ for effort and creativity.
