Agreeing with people

When we're having conversations with others, it's useful to have a number of formal and informal phrases that you can use to show agreement with what another person has said.

I'm with you on that one.
I couldn't agree more.
Yes, absolutely.
I'd go along with that.
You've got a point there.
Hear, hear!
I think so too.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Great minds think alike.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
