That doesn\u2019t just mean coming up with new ideas. It can also mean expressing what you think about other people\u2019s ideas. In our last lesson, we learned how to express doubt.

And when you state your support, you might use expressions like \u201cI can see your point\u201d or \u201cThat\u2019s a good way to look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>925 English is a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">English video<\/a> lessons for beginners (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessenglishpod.com\/category\/a2\/\" title=\"CEFR English level A2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CEFR level A2<\/a>).
