"sorry to push you" vs "sorry to rush you"

The correct phrase would be "sorry to rush you," not "sorry to push you." (That is, unless you are apologizing for accidentally pushing someone down a flight of stairs. In that case, you should probably say, "I am sorry that I pushed you.")

Last Updated: December 17, 2021

sorry to push you

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

This sentence doesn't really make sense. If you are apologizing for having pushed someone off of a play structure at a playground, you could say, "Sorry for having pushed you" or "Sorry that I pushed you."
