Expressing regret

done

2:32

something that you know you really know

2:34

you shouldn't have done, then you can

2:35

use these words. I shouldn't have said

2:37

that. I shouldn't have done that. Okay?

2:40

So, you know, you've upset the

2:42

mother-in-law. Well, she was really

2:44

annoying me. Well, I know. I shouldn't

2:46

have said what I said. You know, she
