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

old camera?

game than cricket?
Disagree is used with the preposition with.
Example
