what is difference between pardon, sorry, and excuse
Hello, abhishek mishra. Here are common uses for ‘pardon’, ‘sorry’, and ‘excuse’.
> Pardon: ‘Pardon’ can mean the same as ‘sorry’. For example, if you accidentally bump your basket into someone at the store, you can say: “Pardon me” – it means you are asking for their forgiveness. It would mean the same thing as saying: “I am sorry.”
> Sorry: ‘Sorry’ is the word you use when you feel bad or sad about something. Let’s say Jennifer stepped on my toe, the first thing she might tell me is: “I’m sorry!” Another example could be if your friend’s pet passed away, you might tell your friend: “I am sorry for your loss.”
> Excuse: The phrase “Excuse me” can be used if you want to politely get someone’s attention. Or, if someone bumps into you, they might say: “Excuse me.” (Similar to saying: “I’m sorry.”)
There are so many ways to use these three words in different ways. I hope the little bit of information I gave you helps. 🙂
