Yeah, thanks for that Arzamas. Actually I know what the phrase means, I just don't know exactly how to use it in a sentence. i looked it up in the site you referred but I didn't find any sentence containing the phrase. Please correct me, it says there that it means to put in effect; so in the following sentences, can I replace its synonyms with bring about?

They don't sound quite right, because they are only related words (according to the theasaurus).
The idea of the thesaurus is just provide you with synonyms/antonyms to help you understand the meaning without translation.
I am sorry I didn't understand you. I thought you were mostly interested in the meaning of "bring about".

Generally speaking, someone or something brings about a change, an effect, or a state of affairs.

Google "bring about" "brought about" for thousands of examples.

Note the frequency of the passive: Some change or effect or state is brought about by someone or something.

You might be interested in the related verb come about, also, which you can also
