THE CONFUSION SURROUNDING THE WORD "APOLOGY" AND FULL CLARITY - (ENRICH YOUR ENGLISH - 189)

Ajouté : 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Greetings to all. I'm always shocked when many students and some teachers say, "I asked for an apology to mean to say sorry." It is totally wrong. There is always a difference between seeking an apology or asking for an apology or demanding an apology and offering an apology or tendering an apology. Let us explain this in detail. Seeking an apology is a polite way of asking someone else to say sorry. This must be understood. For example, I sought an apology for his rude behavior.

[00:00:46]Again, asking for an apology means the same, but that tone is neither polite nor strict. It is moderate. For example, the teacher asked for an apology from the student. Demanding an apology means the same, but the meaning has a stricter and stronger sense. For example, the public demanded an apology from the minister. Now, when we are at fault and want to say sorry, we can use offering an apology or tendering an apology or simply apologizing for that mistake. For example, he offered an apology for his harsh words.

[00:01:37]The newspaper tendered an apology for the wrong report. She apologized for her blunders.

[00:01:46]So, when somebody is at fault and we want them to say sorry, we should use seeking an apology or asking for an apology or demanding an apology.

[00:01:59]Whereas, when we are at fault and want to say sorry, we should use offering an apology or tendering an apology or simply apologizing.

[00:02:15]seeking an apology or asking for an apology or demanding an apology and to say the word. or not to say the word and to say the word and to say the word and to say the word offering an apology or tendering an apology or simply apologizing and to say the word. Here is the information of the week. When does a child speak a language completely with a clear pronunciation of words?

[00:02:45]It is between the ages of four and five.

[00:03:01]A political victory without morals and ethics is a silent defeat of the people.

[00:03:09]I love you.

[00:03:19]Thank you very much.
