person A: I was at the mall and when I got back to my car_comma_ it wouldn't start. I know nothing about cars and didn't know what to do besides calling my husband. Thankfully he was able to figure it out
person B: I'm glad he was able to help.  Was the battery dead?
person A: yes that was the problem... he came and brought a new one. thankfully it wasn't anything major
person B: Yes_comma_ because a dead battery is much easier to fix than a busted starter or ignition switch.  :D
