Could you help me understand the concept below
GPYroky0071Now can I reform the sentence like above ''The car was damaged (by default) again even after he got it fixed.' Is it correct and does it have same meaning as 'He got his car fixed only to damage it again.'?No, it is not a correct use of "by default". If you want to emphasise that it wasn't deliberate then you can say e.g. "The car was damaged in an accident", but in the absence of any other information, we assume this anyway from "the car was damaged". This is because accidents are the usual way that cars get damaged.
Then can I say 'the accident' here is an unintentional event, it's not deliberate?
