The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym related to the word – R E G R E T

(sustantivo, verbo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Example:

It is with profound regret that I must tell you that democracy has been corrupted by professional politicians.

Es con pesar profundo que tengo que decirles que la democracia ha sido corrompida por los políticos profesionales.

Pictures are a good idea.

This link might help you find some ideas.

We have no official corrector for this challenge yet.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the Englishwink?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me smile

This was the previous challenge.

Hay decisiones que he hecho que lamento, y a veces me pregunto cómo estaría la vida si hubiera tomada una decisión diferente, pero tengo que admitir que lo que sucedió, sucedió, y que quizás la vida no sería tan buena si hubiera hecho algo diferentemente a pesar de todo lo que creo.

There are decisions that I have made that I rue, and at times I wonder how my life would be if I had made a different decision, but I have to accept that what happened, happened, y and that perhaps life would not be as good if I had done something differently in spite of everything that I think.
