The blame

If you take the blame from somebody for banning his or her activity, does it mean that he or she blames you for the ban?

  

Top answer

"take the blame from someone" is an unusual phrasing. The only situation where I possibly might use this is when I accuse a person of doing something and later realize that he or she did nothing wrong. Normally, you can take the blame for (doing) something take the blame for someone (=when someone else did something wrong but you assume the blame) but put/lay the blame on someone (=accuse someone )
