❌ NOT "I suggest to test".

UNCERTAINTY & "IT DEPENDS"

🧪 PART 28: Correct the Common Opinion Mistakes

Avoid these 6 frequent opinion expression and grammar errors.

❌ I am agree with you.
✅ I agree with you.

💡 Agree is a verb: I agree (never 'I am agree').

❌ I am not agree.
✅ I don't agree.

💡 Negative form uses auxiliary 'don't': I don't agree.

❌ According to me, this is good.
✅ In my opinion / In my view, this is good.

💡 'According to me' is unnatural in English. Use 'In my view'.

❌ In my opinion I think this is good.
✅ In my opinion, this is good. OR I think this is good.

💡 Don't combine both 'In my opinion' and 'I think'.

❌ I'd rather to wait.
✅ I'd rather wait.

💡 Would rather takes base verb without 'to'.

❌ You are wrong.
✅ I see your point, but I look at it differently.

💡 Directly calling someone wrong sounds aggressive in meetings.
