answer |
today. |
|
I saw that in the work of... |
|
|
Admitting you |
Sorry, that’s not my field./ Sorry, that’s off the top of my |
don’t know |
head. |
|
|
|
I’m afraid I’m not in a position to answer that question at |
|
the moment. |
|
I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to your question, but I |
|
|
38
|
will try to find it out for you. |
|
|
Delaying the answer |
I'm glad you asked that question. |

That's a good question/point/remark. |

Can I answer that question later? |

If you don’t mind, I’ll come back to this point later in my |
|
presentation. |
|
Can we get back to this point a bit later? |
|
Would you mind waiting until the question and answer |
|
session at the end? |

Absolutely. |
|
That's exactly how I feel. |
|
Exactly. |
|
I'm afraid I agree with Peter. |
|
I have to side with Dad on this one. |
|
No doubt about it. |
|
(weak) I suppose so./I guess so. |
|
You have a point there. |
|
|
39
|
I was just going to say that. |
|
I agree with you but there is another way of looking at it. |

|
Disagreeing |
I don't think so. |
|
(strong) No way. |
|
I'm afraid I disagree. |
|
(strong) I totally disagree. |
|
That's not entirely true. |

Yes, but don't you think… |
|
That's not the same thing at all. |
|
I'm afraid I have to disagree. |
