Thank you for your help and It's so helpful for learners
can we say "i don't share you your opinion?"
No. It should be "I don't share your opinion."
i totally agree with you!
thanks
I have a confusion in the sentence : I Couldn't agree with you more – what does this sentence mean isn't it for showing disagreement
No, "I couldn't agree with you more" shows strong agreement.
"I couldn't agree with you less" shows strong disagreement.
Great job,keep it up,we have learnt a lot from your sites.
Thanks
I entirely agree that this sesson will help me improve speaking english.But i can not agree that i can use all off them.
in this matter, what does "I'm afraid" means?
ariel ยป It means that you are sorry that you can't agree with someone:
"I'm afraid I can't agree with you."
When agreeing we can also use: 1) I'd go along with that. and 2) Point taken. Thank you:)
