Expressions which mean I think... Tue Oct 31, 2006 11:19 am  Expressions which mean I think...
 

Hi teachers Very Happy

I have found a few expressions which can replace the phrase "I think", here are they:

In my book
To my mind
For my money
In my point of view/viewpoint

Could you share me some more expressions which mean similiar to "I think" ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jupiter

First a small correction:
When you use the word point, you need the preposition from.

Here are some more phrases that can be used to give an opinion:

- In my view (not viewpoint!)
- To my way of thinking
- In my opinion
- As I see it
- It seems to me (that)
- I'd say (that)
- There's no doubt in my mind (that)
- I'm absolutely convinced (that)

Of course, the last two phrases indicate a much stronger opinion than others. The others introduce an opinion in a more "neutral" way. Wink

You could also say "My two cents is (that)..."

"My two cents" = my (humble) opinion.

This is frequently used to soften an opinion.

Hi Amy Very Happy

Thanks a lot for your two cents but you know it's worth more than $2,000,000 from my point of view Wink

Thanks again
