That seems correct · That makes sense
This is your go-to phrase when someone explains something, and you're like, "Yep, that tracks!" 🧐 It's perfect for agreeing with a summary, a conclusion, or even a slightly exaggerated scenario that just feels spot-on. Use it when you hear a plan or an explanation and think, "Given everything, that sounds totally plausible!"
💡 **Pro-tip!** You can use this informally to confirm or agree without sounding overly formal. It implies, "Based on what I know or understand, your statement is likely correct." It's a slightly more casual way of saying "That seems correct" or "That makes sense." It often suggests a bit of shared understanding or even a touch of weary acceptance!
When would you most naturally use 'Sounds about right'? A. When you're vigorously disagreeing with a friend's opinion. B. When someone tells you the sky is green. C. When your colleague describes a likely outcome for a busy project, and it matches your expectations.
