A while ago I made a video where I helped you learn how to disagree with someone using
1

00:08
the English language.

But I thought to myself the other day, I never really made a video where I explain a number
3
10650
5870
00:16
of different ways that you can agree with someone in English.
4

So let’s do that today.

Well in today’s video I’m going to help you learn five different ways, this is part
8
38059
3961
00:42
one of a two part series, I’m going to help you learn five different ways to agree with
9
42020
5670
00:47
someone in English.
10

One of the first ways to agree with someone in English is to simply say, “I agree with
11
49899
4701
00:54
you.”
12
54600
1000
00:55
Now there’s a number of different ways to say, “I agree with you.”
13
55600
3370
00:58
You could say, “I completely agree with you.
14
58970
2880
01:01
I totally agree with you.”
15
61850
2419
01:04
And you could also say, “I couldn’t agree more.”
16
64269
3420
01:07
or “I couldn't agree with you more.”
17
67689
2210
01:09
All of those would be ways to say, “I agree with you.”
18
69899
4400
01:14
A second way to agree with someone in English is to say, “You’re right!”
19
74299
5460
01:19
You could say, “You’re right!
20
79759
2060
01:21
You’re absolutely right!”
21
81819
2381
01:24
or “You’re totally right!”
22
84200
2669
01:26
Maybe someone has said to you, you know, maybe they’ve pointed out a mistake that you’ve
23
86869
3840
01:30
made and you could stop and you could think about what they’ve said to you and you could
24
90709
4311
01:35
say, “You’re right.
25
95020
1269
01:36
You’re totally right.
26
96289
1370
01:37
You’re absolutely right.”
27
97659
2980
01:40
A third way that you could agree with someone in English is to say, “I feel the same way.”
28
100639
6600
01:47
Maybe you’ve gone to a party and your brother has commented that he thought it was the best
29
107239
6101
01:53
party that he had ever been to.
30
113340
2770
01:56
You could say to your brother, “I feel the same way.”
31
116110
3520
01:59
So basically you’re saying to them that you agree with what they have said by saying
32
119630
5250
02:04
that you are feeling the same kinds of emotions about the party.
33
124880
4579
02:09
I feel the same way.
34
129459
2101
02:11
A fourth way that you can agree with someone in English is to say, “I think so.”
35
131560
6120
02:17
or “I think so too.”
36
137680
2789
02:20
So basically a person is saying that they think a certain way, that they’re thinking
37
140469
5622
02:26
a certain way about something, maybe they think that their car is broken and you could
38
146091
5659
02:31
agree with them by saying, “I think so too.”
39
151750
3680
02:35
or “I think so.”
40
155430
1880
02:37
And you could also say, “That’s what I was thinking.”
41
157310
3330
02:40
You could agree with them by indicating that you were thinking the same thing.
42
160640
4480
02:45
“I think so too.
43
165120
1630
02:46
I think so.”
44
166750
1019
02:47
or “That’s what I was thinking.”
45
167769
1590
02:49
A fifth way to agree with someone is to say something like, “True enough!”
46
169359
4951
02:54
Let’s say someone was to say, “I think Messi is the best soccer player in the world!”
47
174310
4939
02:59
You could say, “True enough!”
48
179249
2361
03:01
Indicating that you believe what they have said is true by saying, “True enough!”
49
181610
5390
03:07
I think this ice cream is the most delicious flavour and you could say, “True enough!”
50
187000
5620
03:12
Well that was five different ways to agree with someone in English.
51
192620
3339
03:15
I’m going to make another video later this week where I’ll look at five more ways to
52
195959
5310
03:21
agree with someone in English.
53
201269
1360
03:22
I think English language speakers have a number of different ways to agree with someone, and
54
202629
5411
03:28
it’s worth knowing all of them in case you run into them in a conversation or while you’re
55
208040
5580
03:33
doing some reading.
