Debate expressions

 Stating an opinion

In my opinion... 
The way I see it... 
If you want my honest opinion.... 
According to Lisa... 
As far as I'm concerned... 

Asking for an opinon 
How do you feel about that? 
Do you have anything to say about this? 
What do you think? 
Do you agree? 

Expressing agreement 
I couldn't agree with you more. 
That's so true. 
You're absolutely right. 
That's exactly how I feel. 
Exactly. 
You have a point there. I was just going to say that. 

Expressing disagreement 
I don't think so. 
I'm afraid I disagree. 
I totally disagree. 
I'd say the exact opposite. 
Not necessarily. 
That's not always true. 
That's not always the case. 

Interruptions 
Can I add something here? 
Is it okay if I jump in for a second? 
If I might add something... 
Can I throw my two cents in? 
Sorry to interrupt, but...
