Learning English: ¿could you help me?

Question

Hi everybody, I'm studying English at home and I'd like you to help me to shorten a sentence, I think that it's a little redundant, the sentence is:

"I agree with you rather than agree with Charlie".

Don't you think it's redundant?, I think that because I wrote the same verb (agree) in those two sentences. How would you shorthen it?

In my modest opinión, I would write it this way:

I agree with you rather than with Charlie.

But I'm doubting because I put two prepositions together. Well, although I know it I'll let the sentence. ¿Could you help me?. Thanks for answering and if you see a terrible mistake be sure to tell me.

Greetings.

Answer 1

I agree with you,not Charlie.

Answer 2

i would say:

I agree with you rather than with Charlie.

Answer 3

Most people would just say : "I agree with you, not Charlie."

You could say: "I agree with you rather than Charlie."

Both are right, just natives would probably say it the first way that I stated.

Answer 4

Thats correct the way you have done it however you need to take out the second with to stop repeating yourself.

This could be said though and you're not wrong.. its just depending on how you want to word it.

The only mistake I see is the two question mark things surrounding 'could you help me'.

'Could you help me?' is correct.

Answer 5

Than is not a preposition, so you didn't have two together.

I would phrase it like this:

I agree with you, not Charlie.

Answer 6

If you wish to cut out all unneccesary words then : ' I agree with you', will suffice. (Because by making that statement, it's obvious that you're not agreeing with Charlie!).

Answer 7

I agree with all above

"I agree with you rather than Charlie".

It sound best this way.

also lose the up side down spanish question mark!

¿could you help me?  wrong

Could you help me?  correct

Answer 8

hola!

i agree with you, not Charlie.

or, you're right, Charlie isnt...

Charlie doesn't know Jack...  (chaz is an idiot)  

Answer 9

'I agree with you rather than Charlie'

Take out the second 'with'.
