I’m for it. / I’m against it.



"Against" can mean "opposed to": I think they might be against the plan.


What does it mean?

“For” means you support something.

“Against” means you oppose it.




Examples:



“Two million people against the war were out on the streets today in the country’s largest mass protest.”



“So, here’s a difficult question. Are you for or against the plan to allow cars into the high street?”



“I’m against it. Dead against it.”
“Well — I’m all for it.”
“Don’t you work for the oil and gas industry?”
“Erm … bye.”



Notice that we can say “dead against” if we’re strongly opposed.

Also notice that we can say “all for” if we strongly support it.
