Contd.

  • Phrase 9 means that she gave birth to a new child.
  • Phrase 10 means that a man has married a woman.

  • The traffic is often responsible for us being late. 4 says that the bus is responsible - it didn't arrive when it was supposed to. 5 is similar.
  • 6. Here we are saying the traffic in general was responsible. You can use this if you are driving or travelling on the bus.
