Word of the Day: delay


The word "delay" can be used as a verb or as a noun when describing a situation in which something or someone is late. In fact, "delay" is very similar to the adjective "late," but you can't use "late" as a verb or as a noun.
  • My flight was delayed for about two hours. (The plane was late. This sentence is in the passive voice. "Delay" is often used in the passive voice.)
  • You should expect to be delayed if you drive on a highway where there's a lot of construction.
  • They're going to delay their wedding until next year. (delay = put off; postpone)
  • Don't delay. Try to make a decision now.
All of these sentences use "delay" as a noun:
  • There was a 30-minute delay during the game because of rain.
  • Highway construction causes big delays during rush hour.
  • A big snowstorm created delays at the airport.
  • If you order now, there won't be any delay.
