Is it correct to say I'm sorry to step on you.?
I've heard of "I'm sorry to inform you ..." "I'm sorry to tell you..." "I regret quitting my job."...
So, does "I'm sorry to step on you" mean "I'm sorry, for I'll step on you"?

We say "I'm sorry I' m late." Following this logic we may say: I' sorry I did something.
