Mistake and regret vocabulary

4:49

Let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt in this podcast.

4:49

Starting with 'mistake', and a mistake is an action that is wrong.

4:54

Or that you do when you don't mean to.

4:57

And we can 'make a mistake'.

4:59

That means we do something wrong.

5:02

Or we can do something 'by mistake', which means we do something accidentally,

5:07

without meaning to.

5:09

For example, I left my suitcase on the train by mistake.

5:14

We also heard 'regret', which means feel bad

5:17

or sorry about something you've done or a mistake that you've made.

5:21

And we heard 'learn from your mistakes', which means remember the mistake

5:27

and then not do it again the next time.
