What about share? - I don't share his opinion. I'm against what he said.

Hi X11,

'Share' and 'Support' have different meanings. I think 'Share' might not fit into this context.

RishonlyHi X11,

'Share' and 'Support' have different meanings. I think 'Share' might not fit into this context.

While there is a distinction in meaning, they both work well.

Hi Lazarus,

IMHO, both 'share' and 'support' grammatically work fine;nonetheless,contextually, in the sentence--"I don't share his opinion. I am against what he said"--the first sentence doesn't have a meaningful relationship with with the second sentence. I guess others may have different views on this.

Hi Lazarus,

I am afraid I can agree. The possible meanings of 'Share' and 'Support' are given below,and I am not able to correlate these two words.

Share-->split, go halves, contribute, divide, divide up, carve up, distribute, allocate

Support-->hold,bear,carry,sustain,maintain

Would you please provide an example where 'Share' and 'Support' mean same? May

rishonly - in this case share and support hold the same contextual meaning, however, it is difficult to come up with other examples.

In the following sentences, we can replace "share" with "support" to transfer the same meaning. I guess it comes from this sense of "share" that when a group of people share an idea, ... ,they believe in that idea,... and thus they support it! Hope that it helps.
