Is "I'm actually running late" same as "I'm going to be late"?
what does it imply when one of the speakers tells that in a conversation? Is it used as an excuse to cut off the conversation or is that the situation?
for instance: What's up? heading to work place? reply: Last day at this work place and I'm actually running late!
Thank ya very much!
