Re: car accident: msg#00069

Subject: Re: car accident

All of the following are correct:

4. I had an accident this morning while coming to work.
5. I met with an accident this morning while coming to work.
6. I got into an accident this morning while coming to work.

Moel, your sentence is not correct. It is missing the word "into."

Sentences 5 and 6 suggest that the accident was not your fault or not
caused by you. On the other hand, sentence 4 leaves open the possibility
that you were the cause of the accident.
