Produce phrases to respectfully disagree in conversations
Respectfully disagreeing is an important way to participate in a conversation without offending others.
Respectfully disagreeing |
“I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you…” “I’m not sure I agree with you…” |
“I don’t think you and I have the same opinion on this issue.” “I’m afraid I disagree.” |
“I see what you are saying, but…” “I understand what you are saying, however…” |
“You have a valid point, but…” “I can see why you think that, however…” |
tips for teaching
Validating the opinion of others is important when disagreeing.
A difference of opinion is not personal.
