Kind of Expressions

Agreeing and disagreeing

Improving your English vocabulary is not as difficult as you think. You just need to become familiar with useful English words, phrases and expressions. This page will help you with telling someone that you agree or disagree with their opinion.

  1. Positive Agreement
    • We use So+auxiliary or modal verb+subject to express agreement when the sentence is in the positive form:
    • He is British, so am I.
    • Colloquially we can also use Me too .
  2. Negative Agreement
    • We use Neither/Nor+auxiliary or modal verb+subject to express agreement when the sentence is in the negative form:
    • He hasn’t eaten yet, Neither/Nor have I.
    • Colloquially we can also use Me neither
  3. Disagreement
    • We use But+subject+auxiliary or modal verb to express disagreement.
    • If the sentence is in the positive form, the auxiliary verb is in the negative form:
    • I like reading books, but he doesn’t.
    • If the sentence is in the negative form, the auxiliary verb is in the positive form: He wasn’t playing tennis, but they were.


Agreeing
"I think you're right."
"I agree with you."


Strong agreement
"I couldn't agree with you more."
"You're absolutely right."
"I agree entirely."
"I totally agree."


Agreeing in part
"I agree with you up to a point, but..."
"That's quite true, but..."
"I agree with you in principle, but..."


Disagreeing
"I'm not sure I agree with you."
"(I'm afraid) I don't agree."
"(I'm afraid) I disagree."
"(I'm afraid) I can't agree with you."
"(I'm afraid) I don't share your opinion."

Note that when you disagree with someone, you can often sound
more polite by using a phrase such as "I'm afraid..."


Disagreeing strongly
"I don't agree at all."
"I totally disagree."
"I couldn't agree with you less."



OPINION

An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments.[1]
An opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. In casual use, the term opinion may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.

Short Message Service (SMS) is the text communication service component of phone, web or mobile communication systems, using standardized communications protocols that allow the exchange of short text messages between fixed line or mobile phone devices. SMS text messaging is the most widely used data application in the world, with 2.4 billion active users, or 74% of all mobile phone subscribers. The term SMS is used as a synonym for all types of short text messaging, as well as the user activity itself, in many parts of the world.

SMS as used on modern handsets was originated from radio telegraphy in radio memo pagers using standardized phone protocols and later defined as part of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) series of standards in 1985 as a means of sending messages of up to 160 characters, to and from GSM mobile handsets. Since then, support for the service has expanded to include other mobile technologies such as ANSI CDMA networks and Digital AMPS, as well as satellite and landline networks. Most SMS messages are mobile-to-mobile text messages, though the standard supports other types of broadcast messaging as well.
