Mazeret bildirme (Making excuses) 8. sınıf (I must study)

Your German teacher asks the class, "Who can help me organize the classroom library after school?" You have a big Mathematics test and need to study. Create a polite excuse. Use the phrase "I'm afraid I can't help. I must study for my Maths test."

💡 This is a situation with a teacher, so we need to be extra polite and formal.

• ➡️ Use a formal and soft opening: "I'm afraid I can't help." "I'm afraid" is a great alternative to "I'm sorry" in formal contexts.
• ➡️ Use the strong obligation word: "I must study..." This clearly shows you have no choice.
• ➡️ Mention the exact exam: "...for my Maths test." Providing details makes your excuse sound genuine.

✅ Final Excuse: "I'm afraid I can't help. I must study for my Maths test."
