What was wrong with “I’m sorry for it”?
When a woman breaks her friend’s camera the following conversation is from an English textbook (summit 2A by Joan Saslow and Allen Ascher; Pearson Education, 2012) in which she expresses regret and rage.
I’m stuck with a camera I lent to friend and he says it can’t be fixed. His camera bounces. When he gets back to me, Tim, can’t he fix his camera?
Oh no. How is this happening?
When I was tossing out my purse I tripped and broke my ankle. I feel awful about…
Why can’t it be fixed?
Is it possible to have four of these tests in 4 hrs? I took my cellphone to the camera shop and they said to forget it. I took it there and they forgot it, I took it to the camera shop. I was not happy. I can replace it with a newer engine.
Then the book suggests other ways to express regret as the following: I’m sorry; I feel awful; I feel (just) terrible.
Do the “I’m sorry” letters actually stop saying that’s all I say? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard sorry about something. What am I getting wrong? Is it something something about so before sorry?
How do you differentiate between simple and sophisticated?
I’m so sorry about it is not typically used to express regret about a particular thing that one has done accidentally, like dropping a camera or breaking a window with a baseball. I gonna say regret to someone who was involved and took part in an investigation and the aftermath: he just laughed until he read some of the news articles.
My boyfriend and I have been drinking and I’m sorry for all of it.
I’m so sorry about everything that started with this.
