Agreement With Him

You can say it again/you tell me: a more informal way of saying that you totally agree with someone: `It`s so cold outside! ». “You can say it again!” “Buses are unreliable!” “You`re telling me! I`ve been waiting here for half an hour. Remember that if we condense a pronoun with something else, we don`t want to change shape. Following this rule often creates something that “doesn`t sound good.” You`d write, “This money is for me,” so if someone else is involved, don`t write, “This money is for Fred and me.” Try this: This week`s vocal trick helps with possibilities of concordance and disagreement: all together at the same time, in a way that shows total agreement when people are together, get together, etc., they work together and don`t formally agree with what has been said or approved The only problem with which most authors confuse it with that, which looks like a possessive, but that really is the contraction for that. In the same way that we should not confuse his is with him (the contraction is for him or he has), we should not confuse who is with whom. Expression of partial agreement: z.B. one hand …. On the other hand, in a way, you`re right, but… You can have a point there, but. The need for a pronoun-ante agreement can lead to gender problems. If, for example, you would write, “A student must see his or her counsellor before the end of the semester,” if there are student students, there is only mourning. In this situation, we can pluralize to avoid the problem: Absolutely not / Of course not …

/ Nothing like this! You do not agree at all with what someone said, “I think I should be responsible for the accident.” “Absolutely not! / Of course not! / Nothing like that! There`s no way it`s your fault. It`s true/you`re right/I know: used, if you agree with someone: `It`s supposed to be a very good school.` “That`s true. They have great results. He`s really boring, isn`t he? “Oh, I know he never stops talking about him.” Informal agree, or able to work easily Exactly/Absolut/I couldn`t agree more: used to say that you completely agree with someone: “When we were young, people didn`t get into debt.” “That`s right. You just bought what you can afford. “I think Jacob is the best person for the job. “Absolutely. I`ll be surprised if he doesn`t get it. “We had to wait three months to get a phone line – that`s ridiculous. “I couldn`t agree anymore. Don`t let me laugh/ Are you a joke?/You have to joke…: informal ways to tell someone you don`t agree with them at all, and you think what they said is crazy: `I really think the Beatles are overrated.` You`re kidding? / Don`t make me laugh! They are better than any modern group. Basic principle: A pronoun usually refers to a little earlier in the text (its predecessor) and must correspond in singular/plural number to the thing to which it refers.
