agree

The word “agree” means to share the same opinion as someone else. In plain terms, to think the same as someone else, or to say yes to something.

“Agree” is pronounced uh-GREE (/əˈɡɹi/ in IPA).

Here is “agree” used in a sentence: “I agree with you — the plan needs more time.”

Words with a similar meaning to “agree” include harmonize, come around, give way, assent, deal and engage.

The opposite of “agree” — its antonyms — are disagree, clash and jar.

“Agree” is a verb.

The word “agree” comes from Latin. From Old French agreer, "to accept kindly," from a gre, "favorably," ultimately from Latin gratus, "pleasing.".

“Agree” is a very common word in modern English, usually learned at around the A1 level.

'Agree with' means you share someone's opinion or think they are right — 'I agree with you.' 'Agree to' means you accept a proposal, plan or request, whether or not you like it — 'they agreed to the terms.' You agree with people and ideas, but agree to arrangements and demands.

The direct opposite is 'disagree' — to hold a different opinion from someone else. Depending on the context, you might also 'object,' 'dispute,' 'differ' or 'dissent.' And when 'agree' means to accept a proposal or request, its natural opposites become 'refuse,' 'reject' and 'decline.'

Several, each with its own sense: 'agree with' a person or opinion, 'agree to' a proposal, 'agree on' or 'about' a topic you settle together, and 'agree' plus a clause — 'we agreed that we'd meet later.' Choosing the right one changes exactly what you mean.
