      Could you please make a video about the ACT English (best strategies)? I’m 24, and I would love to go to College soon, and in order to do this I need to do that. I want to have a 36, a perfect score, but I need a lot of help. 😂

    I'm a canadian and I'm always saying sorry, so this definitely helps expand that word into different meanings.

      "You are not just teach us english" you should change that to, "you are not just teachING us english"

    • @Alina-hy4yg
      @Alina-hy4yg Před rokem +3

      Or even better : ,,you do not only teach us english" (I'm not a native speaker, but for me it sounds more correctly, lol)

      @@Alina-hy4yg yeah that's probably a better way to put it

  • @RicoBurghFan
    @RicoBurghFan Před rokem +29

    Saying sorry is also appropriate when expressing sympathy as when someone tells you their loved one died or when they tell you bad news. "I'm so sorry for your loss." In this case it expresses your sadness at what happened.

    • @Chucomar
      @Chucomar Před rokem +4

      Instead of so sorry: my condolences and prayers to you and your family.

    • @thugpug4392
      @thugpug4392 Před rokem +3

      Yeah say "I'm sorry for your loss" though not just "I'm sorry". "My condolences" is better.
