The average person says sorry at least 8 times a day — no wonder the word has lost some of its power. So what do you do when you really screw up and need to apologize?

In this episode of Phrasal Verb News, I’ll explain new research on why effort matters when asking forgiveness, and how word choice can make an apology come across as more sincere. You’ll also learn four powerful phrasal verbs and idioms you can use at work and in life:

• Screw up → meter la pata
• Come across as → dar la impresión de
• Get across → transmitir / comunicar
• Show up → aparecer / presentarse

👉 Practice questions included so you can start using these right away.
