I'm awfully sorry #2 (permalink) Mon Oct 25, 2004 20:22 pm   I'm awfully sorry
 

I'm awfully sorry means I'm very sorry. You can also say I'm terribly sorry. Horribly doesn't work because it's not used in this set phrase with the word sorry.

Dear Mr. Torsten
would you please explain why we can't considerably instead of awfully. If I am not wrong awfully means "badly"(isn't it).
it's confusing me please explain why considrably not?

Unfortunately, Nobody from the teachers team here for months. I don't know why!
That is because in their emails they urge and invite us to participate in the forum, whereas no teachers are here!!
I hope that everything are OK and they come back soon to support us.

Thank you
