Asking for Agreement


To ask for agreement, you could use these expressions.
• Do you agree?
• Would you agree with ...?
• ..., wouldn’t you say?

You can use these expressions to give an agreement.
• That's a good idea.
• Well, that’s settled.
• We seem to be saying the same thing.

You can use these expressions to respond to a statement.
·         Why not?
·         Really?
·         How true.

Example:
Winta   : It’s almost 7 p.m. How about going to the cafe. I’m hungry. Are you?
Ika       : A little bit.
Winta   : Listen! After having our dinner we’ll go for a play. Do you agree?
Ika       : Why not? That's a good idea. How about “The East Side Story”.
Winta   : Great! I’ll treat you.
Ika       : Thanks a lot.
