    Miss Information says: Most children are ambulatory by the time they are one year old.

    Although the sentence is technically correct, it would generally be preferable to say :

    Most children can walk by the time they are one year old.

    A doctor is more likely to write in a report “ the patient was ambulatory”


    Rather than the patient could walk.

    A sign in a hospital might read “ This ward is for ambulatory patients.”


    Rather than this ward is for patients who are capable of walking..
