Agreeing with a negative

When you agree with a positive say yes. When you agree with a negative say no.

  • ‘You haven’t had your lunch.’
    ‘No.’
    (I agree with your negative sentence – I have not had my lunch.)
  • ‘Liverpool are the greatest team in the world.’
    ‘Yes, I agree.’
    (I agree with your positive sentence.)
