Ways to say 'sorry' part 2 - formal apologies
If you're in an important meeting at work and you interrupt your boss, you should apologise.
To say sorry, you start your apology with:
• Sorry …
• Excuse me …
• Pardon me…
• Apologies…
• I sincerely apologise
If you want to say why you are apologising, we often use the word for.
Because for is a preposition, you can either use a gerund or a noun after it.
• Sorry for interrupting you.
• Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
• Sorry for the interruption.
You can also use the word afraid to mean sorry. After afraid, we put a full clause or sentence.
• I'm afraid I forgot the meeting.
• I'm afraid to say that you're out of line.

Ways to say 'sorry' - part 1
There are different ways you can use to express your apologies.
- You can say sorry
- You can be sorry
- You can apologise
You use the preposition to with a person to say 'who you are apologising to'.
You use the preposition for to give the reason you are apologising. After for you can use a gerund or a noun.
• I said sorry to my friend for breaking his vase.
• I apologised to Bob for the mess.
If you want a simple statement to say 'I was wrong', you can use any of these:
• My bad!
• My mistake.
• My apologies.
• It's all my fault.
• Please forgive me.
• I take full responsibility.
• It won't happen again.
Careful who you say these to - my bad! is very informal and you would probably only say it after making a small mistake.
It won't happen again is probably better in more serious situations.

Also vs As well vs Too
Also, as well and too all have similar meanings, but we use them slightly differently in a sentence.
They are all used to add something.
We use also with the verb, in the middle of the sentence:
• Bob loves watching films, but he also knows a lot about them.
You can use it at the beginning of the sentence to add emphasis:
• Bob loves watching films. Also, he knows a lot about them.
As well and too go at the end of the sentence:
• Bob loves watching films, and he knows a lot about them too.
• Bob loves watching films, and he knows a lot about them as well.
As well is less common in American English and more common in British English than too.
