Lesson 39: Agreement Disagreement

Introduction:

Different cultures use different agreement styles. Consider the following:
Jack: You do not like doing presentations.
Jane: Yes.
Is Jane agreeing or is she disagreeing?
There are two possible answers. You agree with the statement or you agree with the query.

Structure:

Agreement is usually in the form of a short response to a sentence.

Examples:

Mike: I will see jack later. Yes I will.
Jane: Will the team not finish on time?
Alison: No it won’t.
