Native English speakers don’t like to waste words. If we can respond with a single word, we will. Sometimes, we’ll use two words. In this lesson, we look at two-word expressions people use to agree, disagree, or concede points. We’ll review expressions such as no kidding, fair enough, good point, I suppose, and many more.
May I use the phrase “point taken” to express concession?

thanks Adam for this very subtle lesson.

Dear Adam, thanks for this very special lesson of everyday English in Canada. I am afraid that your framing of these 2-word expressions could not be long enough for some English learners to solve the quiz easily. Even with the help of a dictionary I made mistakes.
I did not have a sufficient feel of your mother tongue yet. But that is my problem, not yours.
