Let's say that I arrive late for class and my teacher has a good sense of humour. Could I tell him: ''I was caught up in traffic and besides, there were some extenuating circumstances that caused me to be late.'?
Would this sentence come out natural?
Thank you!
No. 'I was caught up in traffic' is itself an extenuating circumstance..
