Hello everyone,

I just have a problem. First of all, sorry for my bad language and I may not express well what I want to say.


I just want to say to my uncle that "I am so sorry that my dad told about my results and I didn't, but I was about to tell. he was faster than me."

Re: Telling the news

This I what I would say in the same situation: “I’m sorry my dad told you my results and I didn’t. I was about to tell you, but he was too quick for me.”

Re: Telling the news

"Sorry that you heard my results from my dad instead of from me. He beat me to it."
