How to apologize for the things you have done

from Japanese Grammar Tips · host Yuya Sato

You need to use the te-form of a verb plus すみませんでした to show your apology. We often say すいませんでした instead of すみませんでした for the easy pronunciation. <Example Sentences> おくれて すみませんでした。(formal) おくれて ごめん。(casual) I'm sorry for being late. まちがえて すみませんでした。(formal) まちがえて ごめん。(casual) I'm sorry for making a mistake. パーティ に まにあわなくて すみませんでした。(formal) パーティ に まにあわなくて ごめん。(casual) I'm sorry for not coming to the party by the time. パーティ に こなくて すみませんでした。(formal) パーティ に こなくて ごめん。(casual) I'm sorry for not coming to the party.
