Hi!
I have written two sentences and when I think about it I feel unsure what they actually mean.
The two sentences are a question with an answer, both told by the same person.
Here is what I wrote:
(speaker asks audience): So things couldn’t be any better, right?
(speaker answers his own question): We think so!
So my question is, By saying "We think so", is the speaker saying that things can be better, or is he agreeing that things can not be any better?
Cheers
Erik
