Expiation Fasting

Question
Is it possible to clarify when expiation is to be done through fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Whoever deliberately breaks their fast in Ramadan by eating, drinking, or having sexual relations must fast for two consecutive months. And for the one who has pronounced a zihar (a type of divorce), the expiation is to fast for two consecutive months for those who cannot free a slave. Likewise, the expiation for an oath is to fast for three consecutive days, and God knows best.
