ACCEPT : AGREE : DISAGREE

Accept takes a direct object. Agree is used with a preposition: “to agree with somebody”; “to agree to a proposal or suggestion.”

Examples

Did he accept your proposal?

Did he agree to your suggestion?

Did he agree with you (with what you said)?

Do you agree?

Agree is also used with an infinitive and with a that-clause.

(Accept is never used in these two way.)

Examples

Will you agree to accept $10 for your old camera?

They agreed to make another film.

She agreed that it was too wet to go out.

Do you agree that football is a better game than cricket?

Disagree is used with the preposition with.

Example

I disagree with you (with you suggestion, with what you say).
