Hello.
A fellow colleague once said, 'Sorry to have assigned that issue to you' which confuses me a little as I am used to these forms 'Sorry for doing sth' or 'Sorry that I did sth'. Is that correct English?
By the way, when I see the second option it is often not easy to me to find out which tense is used, i.e.
'Sorry for doing that' could mean 'Sorry that I did that' or 'Sorry that I am doing that', etc...
If you could, please correct any mistakes you might find in the post.
Thank you very much.
