“I'm so sorry. That was totally my fault.”

You made a mistake at work. A person from another department at your job gets angry about the mistake. You want to take responsibility for the mistake and apologize. You say.

I'm SO sorry. That was totally my fault.

I'm SO sorry.

There are a lot of different ways to apologize to someone. "I'm so sorry" is used in a few situations:

• When you want to apologize to someone you're not close friends with, for a mistake you made that was pretty bad but not horrible.
• When you want to apologize to a close fried for something really bad that you did.
• When you want to show your sympathy for something horrible that happened to a person you know, even if it wasn't your fault. For example, you say this when a member of someone's family dies.

(a situation) was (someone's) fault

When someone causes or allows something bad to happen, you say that the situation "was their fault". Saying that a problem is someone's "fault" means that they are responsible for the problem and they are the ones who should be blamed or punished for it.

was totally (something)

"Totally" means "completely". But "totally" is more casual.
