AUTRES FACONS D’EXPRIMER SON ACCORD ET SON DESACCORD
‘Yes’ ou ‘No’ ne suffisent pas à exprimer l’accord ou le désaccord dans un échange fluide.

l’aide de réponse
courte, en utilisant un’opérateur’.

réponse courte en so, not et to

-You don’t think they are right, do you? ----) I’m afraid not / Of course not.
-Would you agree to do that? -----) I’d love to but I’m not supposed to.
