So last week we looked at 5 ways that you can agree with someone in English, this week
8

00:36
we’re going to look at 5 more ways that you can agree with someone in English.

One of the simplest ways to agree with someone in English is to just say the word, “Exactly!”
10
40739
5671
00:46
So for instance maybe your brother thinks that the government could do a better job
11
46410
6010
00:52
of helping people find jobs.
12
52420
3060
00:55
You could agree with him by saying, “Exactly!”
13
55480
3519
00:58
“Exactly!’
14
58999
1110
01:00
Just one simple word that means that you agree with them.
15
60109
4081
01:04
The second way to agree with someone in English is to say, “You have a good point!”
16
64190
5220
01:09
or “That’s a good point.”
17
69410
2650
01:12
So imagine for instance that your wife says that you should bring her more flowers.
18
72060
6030
01:18
You could agree with her by saying, “That’s a good point!”
19
78090
3320
01:21
or “You make a good point.”
20
81410
1970
01:23
A third way to agree with someone in English is to say, “That’s so true!”
21
83380
5780
01:29
So for instance someone might say to you that people on their street drive way to fast.
22
89160
6480
01:35
You could agree with them by saying, “That’s so true!
23
95640
3270
01:38
Just the other day I saw several people driving too fast on your street.”
24
98910
4250
01:43
That’s so true!
25
103160
2000
01:45
A fourth way that you can agree with someone in English is to say, “I see where you’re
26
105160
5000
01:50
coming from!”
27
110160
1250
01:51
Now this doesn’t mean that they’re coming from a place far away, it means that you agree
28
111410
4870
01:56
with them.
29
116280
1020
01:57
So for instance, let’s say your sister thinks that the government could do a better job
30
117300
5620
02:02
of stopping people from speeding.
31
122920
2970
02:05
You could agree with her by saying, “I see where you’re coming from.”
32
125890
3729
02:09
I see where you’re coming from.
33
129619
1971
02:11
The fifth way that you can agree with someone in English is to simply say, “I see what
34
131590
4580
02:16
you mean.”
35
136170
1310
02:17
So mean is from the word meaning, and what you’re indicating to someone is that when
36
137480
5190
02:22
you say, “I see what you mean.”
37
142670
2140
02:24
Is that you are agreeing with them in the sense that you can understand the point that
38
144810
5250
02:30
they’re trying to make.
39
150060
1310
02:31
So for instance if someone was to say, “There are too many geese in the river at Bob the
40
151370
5830
02:37
Canadian’s house.”
41
157200
1170
02:38
You could say, “I see what you mean, I can count probably 100 of them right now.”
42
158370
6270
02:44
Well that’s five more ways to be able to agree with someone in English.
