Making apologize A: Hi Peter. What happened yesterday? You promised to meet me at five o’clock, but you never came. I waited for you for over an hour! B: Oh, I’m sorry.

It won’t happen again. Useful Expressions Situation 1 A: Do you remember you borrowed 10 yuan from me last week? I have been short of money recently. So could you give it back to me now? B: Oh, I’m really sorry. But I can’t return it until next week. Situation 2 A: The bike had a flat tire after you used it. How come you didn’t fix it before returning it? B: Oh, it was my fault.

It won’t happen again. Samples Situation 1 I’m late for the school gathering and all my classmates are waiting for me at the bus station. I explain that I had a flat tire.
