To-infinitive

do something wrong, you can say "I'm sorry!"

But "sorry" is really overused in English.

You see, people use "sorry" all the time!

They apologise all the time for lots of different reasons.

"I'm sorry" can feel a little less meaningful.

Sometimes it can feel like you don't really care

or you're just saying "sorry" because you feel like

you have to, not because you actually mean it.

some problem that you've created, well then,

it's a good idea to use a stronger expression.

some more meaningful ways to say "I'm sorry",

Now, we're going to give you a few different options

But if you want to improve your English pronunciation

but how to say it. And in English, it's so important,

especially when you're trying to be genuine and real,

"Really? Oh, my bad! I didn't have it in my calendar."

So it's like, "Oops! Oh, that was my fault."

You don't really need to say "Sorry" as well,

you're just claiming the mistake as yours.

if the problem you created is not a big one.

Like, if you were supposed to make a booking

Don't use "My bad" when the mistake is pretty big, like

if you forgot to invite your grandma to your wedding,
