My wife and I are not of the same mind.
Family members are not necessarily of the same mind.



Do the above two samples with "of hte same mind" sound right to you? If not, how would you correct them? Thanks.

Thanks, oregeezer.
By the way, does "of the same mind" mean "have the same viewpoint/idea?"

Hi, Angli!

Yes! Of the same mind means having the same viewpoint.

"Politically, my wife and I are of the same mind. We will vote for the same candidate."

Cheers,
Amigos4

Hi, Angli!

You must be having a busy week! I haven't seen much of you in the forum :cry:

Are your English classes going well? Are the students excited about learning a new language?

Take care of yourself!

Best wishes,
Amigos4

Thanks, Amigos4, for your concern.
I'm OK! How about you? Are you and your folks having a good time?
If they can talk to native speakers of English, learning English can be fun and exciting. But they feel bored and even overwhelmed sometimes because learning English is for exams and jobs here. Alas!
I can't help it! I did introduce to them this kind of English forum, but they are too busy to get access to this.

Kindest regards,

A

What a shame. I hope you can persuade them to at least spare an hour or so in this forum. It would be a great help!
