ごめん、今日予定ありですって英語でなんて言うの？

These are some quick and easy ways to say that you can't go out with someone and that you already made plans. "Sorry, I have another commitment."

"Other arrangement" = if you have made other arrangements it means that you have another plan which was in place before you received the latest invitation. In the UK, many people have dogs and it seems they consistently avoid social gatherings and parties because they have a dog at home that apparently cannot be left alone for more than the shortest of periods. Certainly, at the end of a working day, a dog left at home would be in need of a walk outside and feeding, so this is always a valid excuse - even if you don't have a dog! "Would you like to have a drink after work with some of the other staff?" "I'd love to - but my dog is alone at home and starts destroying the furniture if he's left too long!"

It is a very polite way to decline an invitation for a drink after work to say: Sorry, I'd love to come but I have other commitments already. A drink after work is definitely a relaxing activity. However, no matter how much you would love to go and have fun, if you have other other prior commitments, you just can't accept the invitation. Your work colleague would definitely understand this. Another way to excuse yourself would be to say: Thanks for the invite, but I have another appointment tonight. Firstly, you thank your work colleague for the invite, but then immediately decline it by adding that you have another appointment tonight. The work colleague will certainly understand this. The word 'invite' can be used both as a noun and a verb. In this case, I have used it as a noun to mean 'invitation'. But, if I use it as a verb, I may say: I would like to invite you for a drink tonight. I was invited to a party last night.

The first phrase is a simple way of apologising because you already have made other plans. The second phrase is a more polite way in suggesting you could go for the drink after work another time.

When you want to tell someone that you have already made plans to do something else these sentences will express just that.

"Sorry, I have plans already" Is a casual expression to express you have already planned you're evening and cannot change the plans. "I'm afraid I'm already occupied tonight" When using 'I'm afraid' this refers to apologizing that you are unable to join them as you're already busy, this can be used in other contexts' also ex. "I'm afraid that you cannot enter through this doorway"

If someone is asking you to go out after work you can simply say "I'm busy". You can give them a longer explanation after if you want or you can leave it at that. Adding a sorry after will let them know you regret not being able to join. "I already have plans" is a little bit more descriptive and again you can add a sorry after. "I can't tonight" implies that you have plans or simply don't want to go.

Use any of these expressions to say you are not able to make it for the plans. Apologizing helps make the other person feel a little less hurt by you rejecting the offer. Raincheck: "To refuse an offer but offer to do it another time." "I'll take a rain check on drinks, maybe next week Tony." "I'll take a raincheck on the sports event, I have an important meeting, let's do sports next week?" "I can't make it tomorrow, sorry."

To politely decline an offer to go somewhere after work because you already have plans, you can say a few different things. "Sorry, I can't go today. I already have plans.", is a casual, quick way to decline the offer. You can even say this as you are walking out the door. "I already have plans for this evening. I'm sorry.", is another way to decline this type of offer. Using this way first declines the offer, then apologizes. This is also polite because the apology is the last part the person hears, which can help him to take the rejection better. "I'm sorry. I already have plans for this evening. Maybe we can go on _____.", can be used to politely decline the offer, but to also say that maybe the event can be rescheduled for a different day when you don't have plans. "Maybe we can go on Tuesday.", is an example of this. This tells the other person that you want to go to the event with him/her, and you will talk about when it can be rescheduled at a later time. Remember, it is also best to apologize when declining an offer as a result of previously-scheduled plans.

a quick way to say this would be "sorry I am busy after work tonight" a slightly more formal way to say this would be to say "sorry I already have plans tonight after work"
