Question

Make phrases people may use in arguments by putting the words in brackets in the correct order.

Answer

  1. I hear what you’re saying, but try to see it from my point of view.
  2. That’s not what I meant at all. You’re twisting my words.
  3. I think we’ve got our wires crossed. That wasn’t my intention at all.
  4. Hey, chill! There’s no need to raise your voice. I can hear you perfectly well.
  5. I’ve obviously done something to upset you, so I think we should clear the air.
  6. OK. You’ve made your point and I heard you. Now can we just move on? / Can we just move on now?
  7. Sorry, that came out all wrong. Just pretend I didn’t say that.
  8. Alright! Calm down! It’s not the end of the world!
  9. It’s done. Just forget about it. There’s no point crying over spilt milk.
  10. We’re getting nowhere here. We’re just going round in circles. Can we just agree to disagree?
