Does “snatch something over” or “snatch something away” sound native?

Question

I’ve learnt that you can say things like: >She snatched the biscuit out of his hand. (snatch ... out of) >She snatched a biscuit from the plate. (snatch ... from) But how does it sound if I say something like: >She walked up and snatched that biscuit over/away. Is it correct grammar? Does it make sense to native speakers?

Answer 1

While saying that you snatched something "over" or "away" is not technically incorrect, it is not a common usage of the word and might sound a little strange to native English speakers. The most common words paired with snatch are "out of" and "from," just like you used in your example sentences.

Answer 2

You can snatch something away, but I have never heard of snatching something over.
