Ex. II Read and translate the information about agreement and disagreement.
Agreement
The verb (or part of it) is commonly repeated in polite agreement:
This summer’s been a bad one, hasn’t it?
- Yes, it has. — Yes, it has, hasn’t it?
Note that in the question the speaker often invites agreement:
I don’t think it’s worth waiting for her, do you?
- No, I ‘don’t. — No, I don’t think it is. Often words such as certainly and quite are added:
They’re a very good band, aren’t they? — Yes, they certainly are.
What we need is a strong government. — I quite agree.
In my opinion, something should be done about it.
- You’re quite right.
She’s got too much make-up on, hasn’t she? — Yes, she certainly has.
(This last remark can only be made to people you know well, of course)
