Agreeing and 
Disagreeing
Do you agree or disagree? 
• The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are the best movies ever made. 
• Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. 
• Diet means not to gain more weight. 
• English dept. students should wear uniform.

Jean: … so she said they’re moving to Corvallis in the fall, because 
Jeffrey got a job at the university. 
Dotty: Oh, where’s that? Isn’t that in California, or someplace? 
Lisa: No, that’s in Idaho, a little north of Boise, I think. I have a cousin 
there. 
Jean: But I thought it was in Oregon. At least, that was the impression I 
got from Nancy. She said it wouldn’t be far to Portland. 
Lisa: Oh, you’re right. I guess I was thinking of something else. Forget 
what I said.
1. What is the object of the dispute? 
2. Who is moving to Corvallis? 
3. There are two instances of disagreement and one instance of 
agreement. What words does each woman use to express her 
agreement and disagreement? 
4. What inference can you make about the level of informality?
Complete Agreement 
• I agree completely…. 
• That’s just what I think, of course. 
• In my opinion, you are correct. 
• I couldn’t agree more. 
• You’re right. 
• Sure.
Tentative Agreement 
• I suppose you’re right. 
Well, maybe …..
Direct Disagreement 
• I’m sorry, but I have to disagree. 
• I couldn’t agree less. 
• I couldn’t disagree more. 
• I refuse to believe that …..* 
• No, that’s wrong.* 
• You’re dead wrong.* 
• Nope.* 
• No way!*
Mary: The show finishes at ten o’clock. 
Dan: No, it doesn’t. They told me eleven
Indirect Disagreement 
• I’m not sure I can agree. 
• I wonder if there’s a mistake. 
• In my opinion….. 
• Are you absolutely sure? 
• That really surprises me. 
• I may be wrong, but …… 
• But I thought ……. 
• Really? 
• Oh, I don’t know. 
• Yes, but …..
Mary: The show finishes at ten o’clock. 
Dan: Oh, really? That’s strange. They told me it 
would be around eleven.
• As if ! 
• In your dreams! 
• You wish! 
• No chance! 
• Not a chance! 
• Not likely! 
• Dream on! 
• Never in a million years!
• How can you express disagreement in our 
culture? 
• Do we usually use direct or indirect method? 
• Can you give examples?
