Detailed explanation-1: -Regretful describes the feeling of being sorry for something you did-or didn’t do-or something that happened. If you are regretful about how you treated your brother when you were little, you now wish you had been nicer. Regret is a feeling of sorrow-wishing you could do something differently or undo an action.
Detailed explanation-2: -Regret and be sorry are both used to say that someone feels sadness or disappointment about something that has happened, or about something they have done. Regret is more formal than be sorry. You can say that you regret something or are sorry about it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Some common synonyms of regret are anguish, grief, sorrow, and woe. While all these words mean “distress of mind, ” regret implies pain caused by deep disappointment, fruitless longing, or unavailing remorse.
Detailed explanation-4: -It’s better to say: I FELT regret about something. the rule is, when two verbs come together in a sentence, the second verb is in the infinitive-meaning, uninflected. therefore, the first verb can change its form to either past, present or future form. However, in this case, the word “regret” stands as a NOUN.
