Hello

"I for one very much like to see what happens"

Can you explain what "for one" means in this sentence and how I can use this expression in other sentences?

Thanks a lot

Hi Swimming,

Welcome to the site. To start with I suggest you say: 'I for one would very much like .....'

The construction 'I for one' is similar to: Speaking personally I/From my point of view/As I see it. It gives the idea that the speaker is just talking about what they think and nobody else thinks.

Examples: I for one have no objection/I for one can't see any problem in that/I for one wouldn't dream of going that fast

Alan
