French - Lesson 30 of 159: Agreement & Disagreement

1. Reading + Listening Practice

Hear core phrases, repeat aloud.

Je suis d'accord.

I agree.

Meaning: I agree.

When to use: Use to agree with a statement or idea in a simple, direct way.

Je suis d'accord avec toi, c'est une bonne idée.

I agree with you; that's a good idea.

Si tu veux partir maintenant, je suis d'accord.

If you want to leave now, I agree.

Je suis d'accord avec ___.

I agree with ___.

Meaning: I agree with ___.

When to use: Say this to indicate who or what you agree with (name, idea, or sentence).

Je suis d'accord avec Paul sur ce point.

I agree with Paul on that point.

Je suis d'accord avec cette proposition.

I agree with this proposal.

Je pense pareil.

I think so too.

Meaning: I think so too.

When to use: Use to show you share the same opinion in a casual way.

Tu veux commander une pizza ? Je pense pareil.

You want to order a pizza? I think so too.

Je pense pareil, c'est plus simple.

I think so too; it's simpler.

C'est vrai.

That's true.

Meaning: That's true.

When to use: Use to confirm that a fact or statement is correct.

C'est vrai, il pleut souvent en avril.

That's true; it rains a lot in April.

C'est vrai — bonne observation.

That's true — good observation.

Tu as raison.

You're right.

Meaning: You're right.

When to use: Tell someone that their opinion or fact is correct (informal tu form).

Tu as raison, j'avais oublié le rendez-vous.

You're right; I forgot the appointment.

Tu as raison, on devrait demander de l'aide.

You're right; we should ask for help.

Tu es d'accord ?

Do you agree?

Meaning: Do you agree?

When to use: Ask another person informally whether they agree with an idea or plan.

On y va à 19h, tu es d'accord ?

We go at 7pm — do you agree?

Je propose ce film. Tu es d'accord ?

I suggest this movie. Do you agree?

Je suis pas d'accord.

I don't agree.

Meaning: I don't agree.

When to use: Disagree directly in an informal or spoken way; common in conversation.

Tip: Beginners sometimes try to use 'Je ne suis pas d'accord' only — that's correct too. Spoken French often drops the 'ne'.

Je suis pas d'accord avec cette décision.

I don't agree with this decision.

Désolé, je suis pas d'accord sur ce point.

Sorry, I don't agree on that point.

Je pense pas.

I don't think so.

Meaning: I don't think so.

When to use: Use to disagree with a suggestion, guess, or opinion in a light way.

Tip: Like above, learners sometimes forget the negative form. 'Je ne pense pas' is more formal but both are fine.

Tu crois qu'il viendra ? Je pense pas.

Do you think he'll come? I don't think so.

C'est la meilleure solution ? Je pense pas.

Is that the best solution? I don't think so.

Exactement.

Exactly.

Meaning: Exactly.

When to use: Show strong agreement with what someone just said, often to emphasize you fully agree.

Exactement — c'est comme ça que je le vois aussi.

Exactly — that's how I see it too.

Tu as expliqué le problème. Exactement.

You explained the problem. Exactly.

Oui, c’est logique.

That makes sense.

Meaning: That makes sense.

When to use: Use to show you understand and accept someone's reasoning or idea.

Si le train est en retard, oui, c'est logique.

If the train is late, yes, that makes sense.

Tu veux économiser — oui, c'est logique.

You want to save — yes, that makes sense.

C’est un bon point.

That's a good point.

Meaning: That's a good point.

When to use: Use to acknowledge that someone raised a relevant or smart idea.

C'est un bon point, nous devrions y penser.

That's a good point; we should think about it.

Tu dis qu'il pleuvra — c'est un bon point.

You say it will rain — that's a good point.

Je vois ce que tu veux dire.

I see your point.

Meaning: I see your point.

When to use: Show understanding before you add your own view; polite and useful in debates.

Je vois ce que tu veux dire, mais peut-être une autre option existe.

I see your point, but maybe another option exists.

Je vois ce que tu veux dire à propos du budget.

Meaning: I feel the same way.
