Wording help please?

Hi,

Could you please check for me if I am correct in these meaning of the following sentences?


Announce (to inform officially)

The pilot [ announced / pronounced ] that the flight would be delayed.

The senator __ [ announced / pronounced ] to run for the mayor.

The mayor [ announced / pronounced ] the new traffic regulation. (Can be both?)

Pronounce (to state officially)

The judge [ pronounced / announced ] the verdict.

The doctor [ pronounced / announced ] he was dead at this morning.

I now [ pronounced / announced ] you man and wife.


That noise really [ annoyed / irritated ] me. (make me angry, irritate is worse)

The way he was speaking really [ annoyed / irritated ] me. (make me angry, irritate is worse)

There wasn't enough space to accommodate the files. (store)


Thanks in advance

John Aki

Maybe " provide " is a better translation of the word "accommodate"? There wasn't enough space to accommodate the files. ( provide ) The road will be closed a line to accommodate the crane's movement.
