We have mentioned it in a previous newsletter: the French love to debate. How do you express your opinion (avis)? There are plenty of options!
- À mon avis… (in my opinion…)
- Je crois que… (I believe that…)
- Je trouve que… (I think that…)
- Je considère que… (I consider that…)
- J’estime que… (I am of the opinion that…)
- Je suppose que… (I suppose that…)
- D’après moi… (in my view…)
- Pour moi… (for me…)
- Selon moi… (according to me…)
- J’ai l’impression que… (I have the impression that…)
- En ce qui me concerne… (as far as I am concerned…)
- Pour ma part… (for my part…)
- Mon idée, c’est que… (my idea is that…)
- Personnellement… (personally…)
Please note that the subjunctive is not used after expressing an opinion. The subjunctive never follows verbs of opinion (croire, penser, considérer, trouver, être d’avis, espérer, etc.). Would you like to review the rules for the subjunctive? Read the article here.
