Use tribute in a sentence

4/23/2024 at 3:01 PM

The band played a tribute to their late guitarist during their concert.

What about this?

Me and my brother tributed a gift basket full of roses and chocolates for our mom for Mother's Day.

The correct verb to use in this context would be "presented" or "gave," as "tribute" is typically used to honor someone or something in a more ceremonial or formal way.

So the corrected sentence would be:
"Me and my brother presented a gift basket full of roses and chocolates to our mom for Mother's Day."

Ohh ok

the first thing that came up in my mind when you said that was at the end of Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip where them and the chipettes perform a song for Dave, lol. Thank you
