regret
Meaning
To regret means to feel sad or disappointed about something that has happened or something you have done, often wishing you had made a different choice.
💡 A common mistake is using "regret" with a gerund instead of an infinitive (e.g., "I regret to inform you" is correct, while "I regret informing you" is less formal).
