Agree

[eddiemel7778]

Can I say "I agree with the decision" and "I agree on the decision"?
Thank you all.

We usually agree 'with' a decision, not 'on' a decision - so your first suggestion is correct!

Another possibility is, "I concur," but that is a formal expression.

I'd just add that a group can agree "on" a decision, even if an individual cannot. However, the sense in that case is that the group has reached a decision, not that the group agrees with a decision already reached beforehand.

I think: I agree with somebody; I agree on something. Is it correct?
Thanks

I don't think so, but maybe you have an example that would help. Every usage of "agree on" that I can think of off-hand requires more than one person to do the agreeing. For example, I don't think an individual can agree on a decision. With whom would the individual be agreeing? It takes a group to agree on a decision, or on a course of action, or on what to have for dinner.

Do you have a specific example in mind?
