There are several ways how we can communicate our agreements or disagreements.
1. Agreeing
I can’t help thinking the same
True enough
That’s right
I couldn’t agree more
That’s just I was thinking
That’s my view exactly
I (totally) agree with you/that
I feel the same.
No doubt about it
That’s a good point/ I see you point
I see where you’re coming from.
Absolutely/Definitely/Exactly
2. Disagreeing
Well, as a matter of fact,…
I’m not sure about that
I see things rather differently myself
I don’t entirely agree with you
Well, my opinion is that…
I must take issue with you on that.
Actually,…
I’m afraid I disagree
I don’t agree with you/that.
I’d be inclined to disagree
That’s not the way I see it.
I don’t think so/ I don’t feel the same
3. Asking for repetition
Would you mind repeating that…
Pardon?
What was that?
I’m afraid I didn’t catch that…
Are you saying…
I didn’t quite follow what you said about…
4. Interrupting
Sorry to butt in,…
Could I just say that
Sorry to interrupt but
Asking for more time
May I think about that for a moment?
How can I put this?
How can I best say this?
Let me get this right
5. Sum up
In short,…
To sum up,…
So in conclusion,…
To summarise,…
6. Saying in another way
What I’m trying to say is…
In other words…
Perhaps I should make that clear by saying…
How can I best say this?
To put it another way…
