Agree or Disagree - English lesson

To AGREE and to DISAGREE (opposed to ‘agree'):

are used either alone or followed by 'with' , 'about', or a subordinate clause.

- I agree with you.

- I really agree about what he was suggesting...

- They agreed that it was a mistake.

a) AGREE and DISAGREE are not built with an –ing form.

- We didn't agree with him, we don't agree now, and we will never agree...

b) To AGREE may be followed by an infinitive clause;

then, it has the meaning of 'to accept to' = to agree to = to consent;

with that meaning, in the negative form, we use = 'don't let + verb'

- I agree to sign this petition...

- They agreed to let their children do what they wanted.

- He agreed to see me (willpower to act/ to accept to)

- I won't let him see me now ! I have no time to waste...

: B E W A R E :

The interrogative et negative forms use the DO/DOES auxiliary

PLEASE, NOT BE -

No error, a very frequent one... can irritate me more than this one...

- Do you agree with me ?

- I don't agree with you when you say that she's stupid...

- I disagree with this suggestion.

* Beware ! Here 'agreeing' isn't an -ing form, but a gerund = 'the fact of agreeing'.

Good luck for the test!
