A: @YassiKari Thanks :)

A:
He hushed me.
Basically means, he told me to be quiet.

Another way to say that is
He shushed me. As in he told me, "shhhhhh."
Both mean he told me to be quiet.

A: Hi @rainbower

The difference between "I leaned backward and spoke in a hushed voice" and "I leaned back and spoke in a hushed voice" is simply a matter of whether the word "ward" is used or not.

"I leaned backward and spoke in a hushed voice" implies that the speaker physically moved themselves in a backward direction before speaking, whereas "I leaned back and spoke in a hushed voice" implies that the speaker leaned their upper body back while remaining in the same position.

Examples:

She leaned backward to avoid the punch.
He leaned back in his chair and smiled.
I leaned backward to get a better view of the painting.
She leaned back and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

I hope that helps!
