I thought In (you broke a friend’s phone by accident) question, regret won’t work, since it has been done by accident.
Could you explain that, teacher?
Regret is the feeling of sadness or disappointment about something you did or failed to do, wishing it had been different or better. It can involve feelings of guilt and remorse for a choice or action, and is often accompanied by a wish for a different outcome or a missed opportunity.
