168: "agree with" versus "agree to" May 25, 2015

There are many rules in English that are not often taught, but as a speaker people understand. The difference between "agree with" and "agree to" is that agreement with is designated for people, for instance, "you agreed with her" or "that borscht did not agree with me" (if you have indigestion), whereas agreement to is designated for something nonliving (inanimate objects and concepts).
