Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to express regrets about business decisions in English?
Hi, my name is Daphne, and this is Three Step English by EnglishClass101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn "how to express regrets about business decisions" through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
Mason, do you have a moment? I’ve got a quick question.
Of course. What can I do for you?
I just received an email from Wanda Walton saying that we are on for lunch tomorrow. Did you schedule this?
Yes, I did. Your calendar was wide open for tomorrow.
I wish you had checked with me first. I was planning to have lunch with a friend tomorrow.
Oh no! If only I’d called you before confirming with Ms. Walton. Would you like me to reschedule with her?
No, that’s alright. Wanda is an important colleague. I’ll cancel with my friend.
I’m very sorry, Ms. Gomez. I wish I hadn’t done that.
It’s ok. Just check with me first, next time!
Will do!
Let's go over the dialogue again, more slowly this time.

Pay attention to the next sentence. It follows the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
