Learning them all won't just benefit students in lessons with you, it will improve their English-language exchanges no matter where they take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expressing_Agreement\"><\/span><strong>Expressing Agreement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two girls agreeing and high-fiving each other\" class=\"wp-image-5481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/10\/02052943\/pexels-zen-chung-5537998-840x560.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CI_agree%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;I agree.&#8221;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This straightforward expression may work in a lesson with you, but students should know that it can sound a bit too formal in casual situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>John thinks we should accept the offer, and I agree.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CMe_too_I_think_so_too%E2%80%9C\"><\/span><strong>&#8220;Me too. \/ I think so too.<\/strong>&#8220;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There's a good chance your students already know these.
