How to use the verb AGREE with the words with/about/on/that/to

Today I am going to tell you how to use the verb AGREE with prepositions and pronouns.

AGREE WITH

The preposition WITH is used after the verb AGREE when you agree with another person:

"My teacher says reading is very important, and I agree WITH her."

In addition, we use the preposition WITH when we agree/disagree with a statement, decision, article, opinion, idea or position:

"This is a well-researched book, and I agree WITH most of the points in it."

AGREE ON/ABOUT

The prepositions ON and ABOUT are used with the verb AGREE when we agree with some topic or someone's plan:

"Everyone in the team agreed ON a date for the meeting."

"We can be friends even if we don’t agree ABOUT everything."

AGREE THAT

The pronoun THAT is used when AGREE is followed by what we agree with. Most often, AGREE THAT is followed by a bundle of SUBJECT + PREDICATE or GERUND (verb ending with "-ing"):

"He agreed THAT it was a great movie."

"I agree THAT saving 10% of your salary is a good idea."

AGREE TO

The TO particle is always followed by a verb in the infinitive, therefore, using TO after AGREE, you agree to perform some action:

"We all agreed TO meet up at 8:00.."

CONCLUSIONS:

AGREE WITH + person;

AGREE WITH + statement/idea/opinion;

AGREE ON/ABOUT + topic;

AGREE THAT + something you agree with;

AGREE TO + verb in infinitive.
