Lesson: Regrets at Work

Published on October 4, 2024 | Updated on October 26, 2024

In this lesson, you will practice expressing things that you regret.

We are going to focus on three structures:

#1I should have / I shouldn’t have …
#2I regret … / I regret not
#3I wish I had / I wish hadn’t

With these example, you are gonna make sentences such as:

#1I should have backed up the server
#2I regret not making a server backup
#3I wish I had made a server backup
