Agreeing/Disagreeing

There is no clearly defined difference between formal and informal ways of agreeing or disagreeing but it’s good to be careful about using expressions that sound too informal in certain situations.

* 1 - Simple agreement
1. I agree.
2. I really agree with you.
3. I think you are right.
4. I couldn’t agree with you more.
5. You said it.
6. Can’t say I don’t agree.
7. I’m with you on this.
8. I partly agree
9. I agree on this but not that.
10. It’s partly true.

* 2 - Accepting/Declining/Expressing acceptance
+ I accept your point.
+ Please accept this on our behalf.
+ Sorry, I can’t accept this.
+ I’m 100% with you on this!
+ Great idea.
+ I’ll take it.
+ Sorry, I can’t take it.
+ Accept my apology.
* 3 - Simple disagreement or refusal
+ I disagree with you.
+ Everyone has their own opinion, right?
+ I think you’re wrong on this.
+ I’m sorry but I have to refuse your request.
+ You’re wrong.
+ No way!
+ You’ve got to be kidding!
+ How can you even say that?
+ Where is your logic?
* 4 - Strong disagreement
+ I completely disagree with you.
+ You are very wrong to say that.
+ I totally disagree with you.
+ I can’t find myself to agree with you.
+ You’re dead wrong.
+ You’re way wrong.
