Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Inglés (UK)
Yes. Or you could say, "I left my keys in the car." I don't know how you would actually lock the car door without your keys. Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with the sentence.

@azlanguages hey could you help with this one?
What is the difference between accordingly and therefore? accordingly is more formal and polite?

I can see that you wrote 11 hours ago. Sorry for the delay. By that time I had switched my computer off.
Accordingly and therefore are very different.
Accordingly means based on that knowledge.
Therefore means because of that.
"It was raining, therefore I took my umbrella."
"I will see what the weather is like and dress accordingly."
"She works, therefore she gets paid."
"She works shifts and gets paid accordingly." (different raes for different times)
I wouldn't say "accordingly in more formal. In fact in my everyday speech I am more likely to use "accordingly" than "therefore". I would use "therefore" when I am writing. Otherwise I would use "so". Like in, "It was raining, so I took my umbrella."
Also, you may have notices that "therefore" connects two sentences like, "It was raining" and "I took my umbrella", whereas "accordingly" usually comes at the end of a sentence.
I wouldn't say "accordingly" is more formal.
