Thank you,Michael! One question….Is it correct to use “feel bad” not in formal, but in informal British English?
Have a great weekend and a beautiful Valentine’s day!….:)
Hi Gilda,
I’m not sure of the use of “feel bad” in British English, but here in the USA it is considered to be everyday English.
thanks!…
