vt. 同意；贊成；承認
　　vi. 同意；意見一致

v.(動詞)agree的基本含義是“同意”。指某一方同意另一方的觀點、看法或對另一方提出的計劃、建議、條件等表示同意; 也指雙方或多方就某事經協商取得一致意見或對某事看法一致。agree所表示的“同意”,多指經討論、談判或勸說使原有的分歧或相反意見得以解決而取得一致意見。引申可表示事物的“相一致”“相符合”和人際關系的“相適應”“相融洽”。agree用作及物動詞,其後可接名詞、代詞、動詞不定式或that從句作賓語。用作不及物動詞,其後常接about, in, on〔upon〕, to, with等介詞。agree on〔upon〕後的賓語主要是date, price, position, cease-fire, terms等。agree to後的賓語主要是arrangement, conditions, plan, proposals, suggestions, terms等。agree with作“適合”解時,主語多為表示氣候、環境、食物等方面的名詞,賓語多為人。agree後不直接接動名詞作賓語,如需接動名詞時則要加介詞。但接that從句時其前不加介詞。agree可用於被動結構。agree指“承認”時，後可接that從句。

I agree that the book is well worth reading.

不定式前通常加agree而不是accept。

I agreed to meet them here.
不用accept to do。

agree接不同介詞表示不同意思：agree with指“同意”，後面接“人”或者“意見”。 agree to指“同意於”，後面接意為“提議”，“辦法”，“計劃”等的詞。agree on/upon指“(雙方)決定”。

I agree with you.
I agree with what you say.I agree to the proposal / arrangement.They agree on/upon these terms.

agreed指“互相同意的”，作為不及物動詞的過去分詞時，可作形容詞，後可接that從句。

We are agreed that the meeting must be held not later than 8 August.

agree也可作為及物動詞的過去分詞。

We met at an agreed place at an agreed time.

agreed to do表示“在別人建議下同意做某事”，而agreed in doing表示“彼此間相互同意做某事”；容易混淆意思的句子：

I agree that he call on me every Sunday.
我贊同他每星期曰來訪。I agree that he calls on me every Sunday.
我承認他是每星期日來訪的。

中文詞源：

前綴a- 同ad-,去，往。-gree, 同詞根grat,滿意，見gratify, 使滿意的。
