Hello,
I would like to ask a simple question, but I'm not sure about it.
When I'm speaking about the flight delay. Can I say: "My flight was delayed for about 2 hours" or "My flight delayed 2 hours"? Or is there is the difference in meaning? The first one is a passive structure and the second one is an active structure. I feel confused a little bit now.
Thank you very much.
Martina
