Express agreement with a verb, not an adjective.
Responding to a colleague’s proposal in a project discussion.
“I am agree with the proposal.”
“I agree with the proposal.”
What to check
Confirm the learner intends to express agreement. Here, agree is the main verb, so am is unnecessary. Contrast “I agree” with “I am happy with the proposal.”
A focused teaching move
Offer three workplace proposals. Ask the learner to agree or disagree and give one reason, using their own opinion.
Look for transfer
Return to a different proposal later in the lesson. Listen for an unprompted “I agree” or “I disagree”; record what you hear.
