Hi everyone, welcome to english-learning.net . I hope you’re well today, In this lesson, we’re going to learn different ways to show agreement.
1. I agree
Yes, this seems to be the most direct way to tell people that you support their ideas. For example:
- I think we should book the tickets early.
- I agree.
2. I agree 100%
The extra word “100%” makes your agreement much stronger. For example:
- For the next meeting, let’s have it in a coffee shop instead of the meeting room.
- I agree 100%.
3. Exactly
This is a good way to show a strong agreement, by saying “exactly”, you tell people what they have said is exact and true. For example:
- Young people tend to do the opposite of what we tell them to do.
- Exactly.
4. Absolutely.
If you want to tell people you totally agree with no doubt or suspicion, then “absolutely” is a great choice. For example:
- Hey Ron, I’m going picnic this afternoon, Can I borrow your sunglasses?
- Absolutely.
5. That’s for sure.
This expression basically means you surely agree with what people say, it is often used to reply to a request or suggestion.
- Callum, is it possible for me to ask for leave now?
- That’s for sure.
6. I couldn’t agree with you more.
This is the highest level of agreeing with someone because you can’t agree more than I do. It is straight-forward and very common. For example:
- I have to say Paris is the most beautiful and romantic city.
- Yes, I’ve been there and I couldn’t agree with you more.
7. That’s exactly what I think. / That’s exactly how I feel.
This long expression not only shows your agreement but also tells people you have the same idea or thought. For example:
- I think we should ask for a pay raise in the next meeting
- That’s exactly what I think.
