 feel pity vs feel sorry
I just came across this exercise:
"Which of the following is correct: I feel pity for her/I feel sorry for her. ANSWER: feel sorry." (That's all the context there is)
Aren't both of them correct? I doublechecked in the dictionary and found the following sentence: "I felt pity for the poor creature", so that shows both of them are correct. Am I right here or am I missing something? |
