[JLPT grammar] Is そうですね only for agreement?
Today I am going to share the Q&A quoted from my JLPT N5 course!
[Student’s Question]
A: あなたは 学生ですか。
B: はい、そうです。
In this scenario, can you also say そうですね in response? Or is that only for agreement?
*学生(がくせい) student
[My Reply]
そうですね is used for agreement.
A:きょうはあついですね。It is hot today, right?
B:そうですね。 Yes, it is(=I agree).
It sounds weird to use そうですね in your sentences because it would mean that B agrees with A’s question.
A: あなたは 学生ですか。Are you a student?
-B: はい、そうですね。Yes, I agree.
-B: はい、そうです。Yes, I am.
Use そうですね when you are asked to agree or when you agree with their opinion.
I hope my answer helps you.😊
In the JLPT course, you can ask me any questions as much as you want.
I will teach you until you get it!
