Apologies

How to apologise

Observe this short dialoge:
Jane: You forgot to bring the book I asked for.
Anna: I am sorry I will bring it next time.

Anna uses the word "sorry" to apologise. 'Sorry' is often used in English with apologies. To make apologies stronger you can use additional words such as: very, extremely, really, very:

Example:

I am very sorry.He is extremely sorryWe are really very sorry

I am so sorry

The addition of emphasizing words before the word "sorry" makes the apologies more real.
