Hi Keti, good to hear you like our website. As for the expression you are talking about - it's probably I'm sorry for being late. Or I must apologize for being late.

TOEIC listening, question-response: Do you think anyone is going to come and ask us what we want to eat?

Hi LS

Just some examples:

1.
I arrived at the train station very late, but fortunately not too late to catch my train.
(i.e. Maybe you wanted to buy a newspaper and have a cup of coffee at the station before you got on your train. But because you arrived very late, you couldn't do that. You arrived just in time to catch the train -- which left on time. :D)

2.
Imagine you are supposed to attend a meeting which is scheduled from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.:

Scenario A:
You arrive at 8:00 a.m. You have arrived in time to have a cup of coffee and review your notes before the meeting begins.

Scenario B:
You arrive at 8:30 a.m. You are right on time.

Scenario C:
You arrive at 8:40 a.m. You are late -- you are ten minutes late for the meeting.

Scenario D:
You arrive at 9:00 a.m. You are very late. You have missed half of the meeting.

Scenario E:
You arrive at 9:45 a.m. You are too late to attend even part of the meeting. The meeting finished as scheduled at 9:30 and you've missed the entire meeting.

Hello Maryboo,

Quite often, if you say "Point taken!", it implies that the other person has argued his case to an excessive degree, and that you are a little weary of the debate. So it might seem impolite or "tart".

If you accompany "Point taken!" with a nod and a particular facial expression, however – raised eyebrows, and eyes open wide – it avoids this implication.

Best wishes,

MrP

Hi:
If you don´t want to sound quite rude, probably you can say "got it", or "I got it". :)
