Grammar: Expressing regretsVersion en ligne Write sentences using the prompts for the different situations. For each one, use the appropriate expression to express regret. Check the feedback after each question! par ADR Formación 1 A woman who was fired after missing a deadline. (She / regret / not / make deadline) Written answer 2 A man who chose to quit his job just before a financial crisis. (He / wish / not / quit / job) Written answer 3 A company took on too many employees. (In hindsight / should / so many employees) Written answer 4 A man who decided not to go to university. (Retrospect / should / go / university) Written answer 5 You failed the interview because your English was not good enough. (If only / study / more / before the interview) Written answer Feedback 1 Remember, after 'regret' you can use a verb in the gerund (not making), a noun phrase ('her not making' - here it's not natural), or 'the fact that + phrase' (the fact that she didn't make the deadline). 2 You use 'wish + had(n't) + past participle'. If you wrote the same, but included 'that' (He wishes THAT he...), it is also correct. 3 Remember that we use 'should (not) have + past participle' to express regrets about past decisions. Don't forget the comma after 'In hindsight,'. Also, the expression 'With the benefit of hindsight,' can be used with no difference in meaning. I have included them as correct answers, technically you should be using a COMMA after 'In hindsight,'. 4 The expression you need is 'In retrospect'. Also, you need to use 'should (not) have + past participle' to express this regret. Although I have included them as correct answers, technically you should be using a COMMA after 'In retrospect,'.

Remember that we use 'should (not) have + past participle' to express regrets about past decisions. Don't forget the comma after 'In hindsight,'. Also, the expression 'With the benefit of hindsight,' can be used with no difference in meaning. *I have included them as correct answers, technically you should be using a COMMA after 'In hindsight,'.

The expression you need is 'In retrospect'. Also, you need to use 'should (not) have + past participle' to express this regret. *Although I have included them as correct answers, technically you should be using a COMMA after 'In retrospect,'.
