Speaking
A Minor¹ Car Accident
Jill:    I had an accident last week.
Richard: What happened?
Jill:    Somebody bumped into the rear end of my car.
Richard: Were you hurt?
Jill:    No, but my car was damaged.
Richard: You were very lucky that you weren't seriously hurt. Who's to blame for the accident? The other driver?
Jill:    It was not his fault. Seeing a dog running across the road, I suddenly braked. Then the next car crashed into the back of my car.
Richard: Fortunately, you've insured your car.
Jill:    Yes, I have.
