Hello everyone. If you are late for a meeting with someone, you are supposed to say first to him/her something like �( )� 1. Sorry to keep you. 2. Sorry to keep you waiting. 3. Sorry to have kept you. 4. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Is each, #1 through #4, appropriate for the blank above? Best regards, fw

All are fine--#4 is the most formal.
