· You borrow something without asking

· You arrive late for something

· You say something which upset a friend

· Someone complains about your behaviour

1. In which of these situations would you apologise?

2. What would you say in each case?

3. Which situation needs the most sincere apology?

4. How would you make your apology more sincere?

I am really sorry (the most sincere)

I am sorry so much

I am so sorry

I am sorry to be late

I am sorry I'm late

Please forgive my being late

I apologize for my being late

I hope you will pardon me for doing so — надеюсь, вы простите меня за то, что я сделал (the most formal)
