Never Say Sorry Again
Everybody makes mistakes sometimes. When it happens we need a phrase to tell the other person how really sorry we are and stop them getting really angry. Here are ten phrases. Ten Expressions to Use
How To Use These Phrases Sorry. 'Sorry' is a general short apology. We use this when we bump into people on the street. At other times, it sounds too weak. I'm (so / very / terribly) sorry. We use 'so', 'very' and 'terribly' to make the meaning stronger. 'Terribly' is the strongest. If we use one of the words in brackets, it is stressed. Ever so sorry. “Ever so sorry” is quite formal but it's a stronger apology than just 'sorry'. How stupid / careless / thoughtless of me. Used to criticize ourselves and the mistake that we have just made. Pardon (me) That's my fault. We use phrases either of these to take all the responsibility for what happened. 'That's my fault' is a little stronger. Sorry. It was all my fault. We use this for our lack of knowledge or ability. We can replace the word in brackets with other nouns, e.g. carelessness, forgetfulness. Please excuse my (ignorance). Please don't be mad at me. The phrase “Please excuse my” is asking the other person not to get angry. The tone is quite informal. Please accept our (sincerest) apologies. This phrase is often used in formal letters. The word 'sincerest' makes the apology very strong and very formal. 官网咨询：http://www./ 咨询电话：0731-89831295 400-007-6728 客服微信咨询号：温思顿英语 新浪微博：@温思顿国际英语 |
