Commitments have been made with very little intention of carrying them out.?

Question

Commitments have been made with very little intention of carrying them out.

What does this sentence mean?(I'm a foreigner.)

Answer 1

Commitment means that you have commited to someone and will give your attention,support, life(as in marriage) or whatever to that person. For example, during marriage, couples are commited to each other, that is they are willing to live with them all thier life. If you are commited to a company, you work for thier company, etc. The sentence of yours means that you have made a commitment to somoene, but you are not willing or are not going to carry that commitment.

Answer 2

I'm guessing that "carrying them out" is what you're unsure of. It means to do whatever was committed to.

By the way, it's a badly written sentence: the first part is in the passive and the end is more-or-less active, but doesn't have a subject.

I'd write something like:

Commitments have been made by people (or compaines/organizations) who have very little intention of carrying them out.

You could also say "of following through". Means the same in this instance.

Answer 3

If your a foreigner from an English speaking nation, you should know what sentence means. If you're from a nation that does not speak English, you communicate very well. Where are you from? Arkansas?
