1.Various surveys also show that most teens who have rejected marijuana credited their parents for their decision.
2.The screenplay for 'Gabriel Over the White House' is credited to Carey Wilson. |
1. As for #1, I think 'credited their parents for' is changed to 'credited their parents with'. Can you let me know wheather I am wrong and why?
2. As for #2, what does 'is credited to' mean? According to my dictionary, it means 'is responsible for'. But I don't think so. Can you tell me what it means?
Thanks. |

1.Various surveys also show that most teens who have rejected marijuana credited their parents for their decision. You credited (~ gave recognition to) the parents with ...(something)... for the decision most teens made to reject marijuana. Give parents the credit for (not *with) making their teens reject marijuana.
2.The screenplay for 'Gabriel Over the White House' is credited to Carey Wilson. 'Is credited to' means �is ascribed to� or � is considered as belonging to�. |
