English Expressions for Rejection
The general rule of thumb is:
Good thing + Reason
or
Apology + Reason
I’m sorry but I can’t
I’d love to but…
I appreciate the offer but…
That’s very kind of you but…
Actually, I think I’m going to pass on it if you don’t mind.
Not right now, maybe later.
I’m afraid I can’t tonight
I’ll have a think about it and get back to you
