Hey, what's up! Welcome to Series English! Today I want to improve your vocabulary, enlarge it.
When you are trying to pass some tests you are supposed to use different constructions,
different tenses, different vocabulary.
You're not supposed to say the same things over and over again.
That's why today I want to touch upon the topic of agreeing and disagreeing.
So what expressions can you use here without saying "I agree" or "I disagree", "no", "yes" and that's it?
There are a lot of expressions you might use here, for example
of course; you are absolutely right; yes, I agree.
This one is obvious.
I think so too. That's a good point.
Exactly. This one is really powerful.
That's true.
"So do I" or "Neither do I". "Neither do I" is also possible.
This one is too a negative sentence and this one is to a positive sentence.
Of course you can change the axillary verb here - so do I, so have I.
"I've heard that..." and you say "So have I!"
I don't think so either.
Or - I don't think so either.
I'd go along with that.
This one sounds a little bit reluctant.
I agree with you entirely.
This one is very strong.
That's just what I was thinking.
I couldn't agree more.
I'm 100% behind you.
When you disagree you can simply say "I disagree" or "I don't agree with you".
I don't think so.
That's different.
However...
That's not entirely true.
On the contrary.
You oppose, you have the opposite opinion - on the contrary.
I'm sorry to disagree with you, but...
This one is long and formal.
Yes, but don't you think that...
That's not the same thing at all.
When your interlocutor has just been comparing something,
and he's wrong you can say - that's not the same thing at all.
Also - I'm afraid I have to disagree.
We can simply say - I have to disagree on this matter.
I have to disagree with you here. Or you can add "I'm afraid".
And three more - I'm not so sure about that.
I must take issue with you on that and
And - it's unjustifiable to say that...
When you mean that your interlocutor cannot prove it.
It's unjustifiable to say that.
You can't say that.
Also possible. By the way notice that you say "I don't think so" but "I believe not".
You do not say "I don't believe so".
I believe not.
And "I hope not", not "I don't hope so" by the way.
Okay, that's it about agreeing and disagreeing. I hope that you liked this video.
