Use expressions like these to support (support) someone's opinion.
I really like that idea.
That's it exactly!
I get it.
Use expressions like these to gently reject (reject) an opinion. Notice that using modals or - ing verbs can help soften the rejection.
Kara would prefer a brighter color scheme.
We're actually thinking of something more minimalist.
Another way to soften a rejection is to add I'm sorry, but.
I'm sorry, but I'd rather go with something more subtle.
Use more dramatic expressions like these to forcefully reject an opinion. Notice that phrases with how and absolutely, and the negative words no and can't stand, are all used for emphasis.
Beige wallpaper? How unimaginative!
There's no way I'm buying a lava lamp!
I absolutely cannot stand pastels.
Be careful: Some rejections can actually seem like genuine questions. Listen to the tone and intonation of the following examples, all of which are definitely rejections:
Who likes silver wallpaper?
A purple rug? Seriously?
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry, but I'd rather go with something more subtle.
