First, I have to apologize of my confusion between "hang on" and "hold on".
I confused completely, and thought the two idioms as the same thing.

I now realize that the two are different each other.

From now on, I will check it out and learn what was taught by all of you.

Thank you.
"Hold on" and "Hang on" each have several meanings.
The "wait" meaning is the same.

The different meanings need to be learned separately.

Superman I checked some of your sentences and posts in other threads and my quick recommendation to you is to make some flashcards of phrasal verbs.

Phrasal verbs are the source of a lot of confusion for most ESL learners.
How often and how well (transparently) someone can use them is a good sign of their level.
