Hallo,

Sorry, but I can’t. I really regret not saving more money last month.

Regret

When 'regret' is followed by the gerund you feel sorry about something you did – or didn't do - in the past.

I regret telling you I was going to enter that singing competition!

You'll regret not finishing university.

When 'regret' is followed by the infinitive, you regret something you are about to say. Often used in formal, written English with verbs 'tell', 'say' and 'inform'.
