The document provides examples of apologies and responses to apologies in different situations including neutral situations with friends, more serious situations, and examples of dialogues. It includes phrases to apologize, accept an apology, or indicate that an apology is not necessary in various levels of formality. Sample apologies range from brief ones like "Oops! Sorry!" to more formal ones like "May I offer you my profoundest apologies." Responses include short acknowledgements like "That's alright" as well as longer responses indicating the offense is forgotten or not important. Two short sample dialogues demonstrate apologies and responses in conversations.
