At the B2 CEFR level, **apologising** involves more than just saying 'sorry'. It's about demonstrating a deeper understanding of the impact of your actions on others.
When you apologise, you should clearly **acknowledge what you did wrong** and take responsibility for it.
It's also important to **express genuine regret** and show empathy for any distress or inconvenience caused.
Additionally, a good apology often includes an **offer to make amends** or a commitment to behave differently in the future, fostering reconciliation and rebuilding trust.
At the C2 level, 'apologise' transcends a simple expression of regret; it involves a sophisticated understanding of social dynamics and interpersonal communication. It's about adeptly navigating situations where one's actions have caused offense or harm, and strategically employing language to mend relationships and restore equilibrium.
A C2 speaker would not only articulate their remorse with precision and nuance, but also anticipate the impact of their apology on the recipient, tailoring their language to resonate effectively. This might involve acknowledging specific aspects of the offense, demonstrating genuine empathy for the other person's feelings, and offering concrete assurances of future behavioral adjustments. The act of apologising, at this advanced level, becomes a performative act of diplomacy, reflecting a deep awareness of linguistic and cultural conventions.
§ Definition
- DEFINITION
- To express regret or remorse for something one has done or failed to do. It involves acknowledging fault and often seeking forgiveness.
The verb 'apologise' (British English spelling; in American English, it's 'apologize') is a crucial part of social interaction, enabling us to acknowledge our mistakes and work towards reconciliation. It's about taking responsibility for our actions and showing respect for others' feelings.
§ How to use it in a sentence — grammar, prepositions
'Apologise' is an intransitive verb, meaning it does not take a direct object. Instead, it is often followed by a preposition to indicate what or to whom one is apologising. Understanding these prepositions is key to using the word correctly.
§ Apologise to (someone)
When you want to specify the person you are apologising to, you use the preposition 'to'.
I need to apologise to my friend for being late.
The company had to apologise to its customers for the service disruption.
§ Apologise for (something)
To state the reason or the action for which you are apologising, use the preposition 'for'. This can be followed by a noun, a gerund (-ing form of a verb), or a noun phrase.
- Followed by a noun:
He apologised for his rude behaviour.
- Followed by a gerund:
She apologised for interrupting the meeting.
- Followed by a noun phrase:
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
§ Combining 'to' and 'for'
You can combine both prepositions in a single sentence to specify both the recipient and the reason for the apology.
He apologised to his sister for breaking her favourite vase.
I should apologise to my teacher for not completing my homework.
§ Apologise about (something) - Less Common
While 'apologise for' is more common, 'apologise about' can also be used, particularly in informal contexts, to express regret about a situation or event. However, it's generally better to stick to 'for' when referring to specific actions or reasons.
I apologised about the misunderstanding.
§ Apologise that (clause)
You can also use a 'that' clause to express what you are apologising for, especially when the reason is a complete statement or event.
We apologised that the delivery was delayed.
He apologised that he couldn't make it to the party.
§ Common Mistakes to Avoid
One common mistake is to use 'apologise' transitively, like 'apologise something'. This is incorrect. Always use a preposition before the reason or recipient.
- Incorrect:
I apologised my mistake. - Correct: I apologised for my mistake.
- Incorrect:
She apologised him. - Correct: She apologised to him.
Another point to remember is the difference in spelling between British English ('apologise') and American English ('apologize'). Both are correct, but it's good to be consistent within your writing.
§ Formal vs. Informal Usage
While 'apologise' is a versatile word, its usage can vary slightly depending on the formality of the context.
- Formal: In formal settings, such as business correspondence or official statements, 'apologise' is often used to convey a professional and sincere expression of regret.
We wish to apologise for the recent technical issues.
- Informal: In informal conversations with friends or family, 'apologise' is still appropriate, but you might also hear more casual phrases like 'I'm sorry' or 'My bad'.
I really should apologise for forgetting your birthday.
Mastering the use of 'apologise' with the correct prepositions will greatly enhance your ability to communicate effectively and politely in English, especially when expressing regret and seeking to mend relationships.
گرامر لازم
Use 'apologize (for)' when expressing regret for an action, a mistake, or an inconvenience. The word 'for' is used to specify the reason for the apology.
I apologize for being late.
Use 'apologize (to)' when specifying the person or people to whom the apology is directed. This preposition indicates the recipient of the apology.
He apologized to his boss for the error.
When apologizing for an action, you can follow 'apologize for' with a gerund (the -ing form of a verb).
She apologized for interrupting the meeting.
You can use 'apologize' in more formal contexts with 'that' followed by a clause to express regret for a situation or a fact.
We apologize that the service was not up to your expectations.
Avoid using 'apologize' with 'to' and then a gerund directly when referring to the action for which one is apologizing. Instead, use 'apologize for' + gerund, or 'apologize to' + person.
Incorrect: I apologized to coming late. Correct: I apologized for coming late. OR I apologized to him.

نحوه استفاده
When you apologise, you are telling someone that you are sorry for something you have done that has caused them trouble or unhappiness. For example, 'I apologise for the delay.' It's often followed by 'for' and then a noun or a gerund (e.g., 'apologise for the inconvenience,' 'apologise for being late').
A common mistake is confusing 'apologise' with 'excuse me.' While both relate to expressing regret, 'excuse me' is generally used for minor inconveniences (e.g., passing in a crowded space, interrupting), whereas 'apologise' is used for more significant wrongdoing or regret. Another mistake is using 'apologise to' with an action instead of a person (e.g., 'I apologised to being late' is incorrect; it should be 'I apologised for being late').

According to Aristotle, under what conditions is a true apology most appropriately given?
این متن را بخوانید:
The ancient Greek philosopher, Aristotle, in his Nicomachean Ethics, delves into the concept of apology, suggesting it is inextricably linked to the notion of voluntary action and responsibility. He posits that one can only truly apologize for actions committed knowingly and willingly, rather than those performed under compulsion or out of ignorance. An involuntary act, while it may cause harm, does not warrant an apology in the same moral sense, as the agent is not seen as the true originator of the wrongdoing. This distinction highlights the profound moral weight ancient thinkers placed on intentionality when considering acts of regret and reconciliation.
