Extended information:
excuse is generally used as a transitive verb. It can be connected to a noun, pronoun or gerund as an object, but it cannot be connected to the infinitive or clause of the verb.
When excuse is interpreted as "forgive" or "forgiveness", the object is often followed by the preposition for to express what is forgiven; when used as "excuse", it can be followed by a double object, or it can be used with the preposition from. ; When using "to defend...", a reflexive pronoun is often used to mean "to defend myself" or "to say I'm sorry."
When exclude is used as "forgive" or "exempt", it can be used in passive structures. It is not used in passive constructions when used as a "justification for" solution. When "forgiveness" is used as the object of a noun or pronoun, it can be used in passive structures (a person must be the subject); when a gerund is used as the object, it cannot be used in passive structures.
