I Am Agree or I Agree? Which One Is Correct
Quick Answer
The correct form is "I agree."
"Agree" is a verb, not an adjective, so it doesn't need the verb "to be" (am/is/are) before it.
Explanation
This is a common mistake, especially for speakers whose native language uses a form of "to be" with the equivalent of "agree."
In English, agree is a regular verb. It is conjugated in the present simple tense like this:
- I agree
- You agree
- He/She/It agrees
- We agree
- They agree
We use "am/is/are" with adjectives (I am happy) or with -ing verbs (I am working), but not with simple present tense verbs like "agree."
Examples
✔I agree with you.
✔She agrees with the proposal.
✔We don't agree on this matter.
✘I am agree with you.
✘She is agree with the proposal.
Common Mistake
Incorrect: I am agree that this is a good idea.
Correct: I agree that this is a good idea.
Practice
Fix the sentence:
"They are not agree with the new policy."
