Today's phrase - to shove someone/something
Hi!

I try to learn new English phrases on and off. And I've done over 2000 phrases so far.

One of the phrase I've learnt is <em>"</em>to shove someone/something<em>"</em>.

Here are examples I've written myself:

I shoved the mugger and he fell on a ground.
In our subway people tend to use elbows and even shove each other.
Suddenly someone shoved me and I almost fell but managed to keep my balance.

---

Does a native speaker say it like that?

Is it a casual speech?

Correct me if I'm wrong, I love to learn!

---

Thank you.

PS I found this phrase on the BBC web site.

I’ve noticed that what makes your sentences less native aren’t usually connected to your target phrase! And consider punctuation.

I shoved the mugger and he fell to the ground.
In our subway, people use their elbows and shove each other. Also consider subways, and “on the subway”
Suddenly someone shoved me and I almost fell. (What does saying that you managed to keep your balance add? Or add a second sentence for emphasis: Fortunately I managed to keep my balance.)
