I am sorry to him

Hello...

Is “I am sorry to him” correct expression?

Similar expressisons will be:

I am sorry to Mary.

Jane is sorry to her mother.

I know I did something terrible to him. So I am very sorry to him. I will do anything to make up for my impudence.

No, that doesn't work. See correction below: pructus I know I did something terrible to hi m, So and I am very sorry (for that). to him.

The following may be appropriate, depending on the situation.

I am sorry to Mary. I am sorry for what I did to Mary. / I'll tell Mary that I'm sorry.
Jane is sorry to her mother. Jane is sorry for what she did to her mother. / Jane will tell her mother that she's sorry.

Thanks so much, CJ!!

By the way...
If I don't say to anybody and I just think *I am sorry to him, how can I express this?

If, "I am sorry to him" is not possible, it seems to be difficult to convey the thought in a sentence.

Thanks so much teechr!!

If "I am sorry to him" is not possible, I wonder how native speakers convey this kind of thought....

"I feel regrettable to him"?

No.

CJ has given some suggestions. Here's another: I regret the way I treated him.
