I'm with you

Question

HiWhen in a discussion i want to expresses my support of someone else's claims. I could say: "I'm with you". but if i back his up only in one of his remarks not all of them. What could i say using that aforementioned expression? Maybe "I'm with you on....(what i agree on) but not on....(what i disagree)"

Mr. Tom · Accepted Answer

If the relationship is (very) formal, you can say:

...but I beg to differ on...

Thanks, i usually though don't get involved in formal conversations and if so, i won't be using formal expressions! Now my question to be clear is if i could use "on" in that composition. Like: I'm with you on..

Mr. Tom · Answer

Yes, you can.

And a lot depends on the context.

I'm with you on the flight, so don't worry.

I'm with you in this cave, so there's no need to panic.
