Expressing Agreement and
Disagreement
Agreement:

I think so, too.
Thats true, and ...
Thats right, and ...
Disagreement or Partial Disagreement
These expressions are common in the discussion
of an issue:

Sara: What a lovely dress! I love neon colors and the pumps are beautiful!
What do you think?
Camilla: Wait a second, this dress? Oh, I dont think so. I think its horrible.
I dont like the color and the heel on those pumps! Ugh!
Sara: Mmm, what about these jeans? The color is your favorite, and I think
you would look great in them!
Camilla: I think so, too. Look! They are not expensive, and we can nd them
in our local store. Do you want to stop by and check them out?
Sara: Great idea! I totally agree with you. Maybe I can nd something for
myself, too.

Well, maybe, but ...

Well, that might be true, but ...
Well, I think that ...
(The word Well often precedes expressions of
opinion, especially disagreement).
Rather strong disagreement:
I cant really agree with that. I think that ...
Oh, I dont think so. I think that ...
