Practicing the Word "Disturb" and "Interrupt" (88)
I'd like to understand the word "disturb", so I made some examples.
This morning, while I was studying English, my neighbor started cutting grass.
The noise of the machine was really annoying and disturbed my study.
In this situation, can I also say "The noise interrupted my study"?
I mean, the noise interrupted my study, but I started studying it again after the neighbor stopped cutting grass.
Do these examples work?
Disturb という言葉を理解したいので例文を作りました。
今朝、英語の勉強をしていたら、隣の人が草を刈り始めた。
その機械の音がめっちゃめっちゃうるさくて私の勉強を妨害した。
この場合、「その音が私の勉強を中断させた」これも言えますか？
つまり、その音が私の勉強を中断させたけど、隣の人の草刈りが終わったら私は、また勉強を始めました。
この例文は大丈夫ですか？よろしくお願いします。

"My study" sounds unnatural. But "disturbed my studying" sounds OK!
In this situation, can I also say "The noise interrupted my studying"?
I mean, the noise interrupted my studying, but I started studying it again after the neighbor stopped cutting grass.
Do these examples work?
Feedback
Both "disturbed" and "interrupted" sound OK to me!

Yes, I think you got the meaning down. You could use those to the same effect. I think disturb has more of an emphasis on being annoying, like not being able to study properly. Interrupted has more emphasis on stopping, like it was too noisy for you to keep working.

Yes! Or also “The noise interrupted/disturbed my studying”
I mean, the noise interrupted my study, but I started studying it again after the neighbor stopped cutting grass.
Although “it” refers to you going back to studying English, I think the sentence sounds better when you say you restarted the general act of studying.
Do these examples work?
Feedback
Yes, disturb can also mean to interrupt or interfere.
