AGREE TO x AGREE WITH x AGREE ON

In general, we “agree to” something and we “agree with” someone.

He agreed to the proposal.
Ele concordou com a proposta.
My wife agreed to our suggestion.
A minha esposa concordou com a sua sugestão.
It’s a good idea to agree with your boss most of the time, don’t you think?
Você não acha que é uma boa idéia, na maioria das vezes, concordar com o chefe?


However, we can also “agree with” an idea, an opinion, an analysis, etc. and “agree on” a subject of discussion.

I agree with your views on that matter.
Concordo com o seu ponto de vista sobre o assunto.
They agreed on a date for the next meeting.
Definiram a data da próxima reunião.
