Romper: Para cosas duras

Si @Adril_15 , pero recuerda que hay el verbos que ajustan mas a ciertos contextos que a otros, en este ejemplo seria mejor usar "malogrando"

Romper lo aplicas cuando es algo fragil como una bolsa ,zapatos etc. y Quebrar se usa cuando hablamos de algo de vidrio , porcelana etc. osea que se hace en pedazos 😊

Yo uso quebrar cuando algo fragil se rompe pero de forma "limpia" es decir no que revienta en pedazos. Por ejemplo, si se me cae un plato al piso y explota, diré "se rompió el plato", pero si pongo algo muy caliente sobre el plato frio y esto hace que el plato se parta a la mitad pero sin crear astillas ni pequeños pedacitos de vidrio, dire "se quebró el plato"
También suelo usar "quebrar" cuando rompo algo a la mitad, por ejemplo: Quebrar una rama
Si algo falla dirás que se rompió, por ejemplo "Se rompió la batería, ya no funciona" "Se rompió el mecanismo de calentamiento del microondas"
Asi es como lo uso yo pero realmente son casi lo mismo y hay pocas situaciones donde cambian el significado, sobretodo en la de cuando algo falla, si dices "se rompió la heladera" se entiende que la heladera ya no enfría, pero si dices "se quebró la heladera" se entiende que la heladera o al menos una parte de ella se destruyó
