Meanwhile, situation 3 gives us an example on how formal expressions of agreement can be used. In that situation, Mr. Wijaya (a teacher) is having a discussion with his students. The students express their agreement in a formal way because they are talking with their teacher, a person they should pay respect. Besides, the discussion happens in a classroom context . Therefore, formal expressions that can be used are among others:
- I couldn’t agree more, Sir.
- That’s exactly how I think, Sir.
- I am afraid I agree with you, Sir.
Other formal expressions of agreeing that can be used are :
- I hold the same point of view.
