Hi everyone. It's Jennifer.
Would you call yourself agreeable or difficult?
Do you enjoy being confrontational?
Sometimes I think it's just easier to agree with others. Don't you think?
Well, in this lesson I'll offer several ways to express agreement.
First, when someone asks for a favor, you can respond, "No problem."
For example:
Can you help me carry some boxes?
Sure. No problem. I'd be happy to.
No problem. My pleasure.
Second, when you agree and it's less from the heart and more to avoid an argument, you can say:
Anything you say.
Sure. Anything you say.
For example,
your dinner companion is very upset and feels the need to complain about the restaurant. He says:
That was awful. That was horrible. We'll never go there again. They should close that place down, right?
You agree and say, "Mmhmm. Anything you say."
Finally, sometimes we wholeheartedly agree.
We think the same thing or the same way as another person. In this case, any of these
expressions would sound natural.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
You're telling me.
Which means you're telling m,e but I know this already because I agree. You're right. You're telling me.
I couldn't have said it better myself - OR - I couldn't have said it any better myself.
You can say that again. Which means your words are true and I agree. You can say that again.
Try saying all the expressions again. Repeat after me. Ready? No problem. I'd be happy to.
Mm-hmm. Anything you say.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I couldn't have said it any better.
I couldn't have said it any better myself.
You're telling me.
You can say that again.
Well, we'll end here. I'll see you again soon for another lesson. Please remember to like this video and subscribe.
