1. Typical mistakes:

We not agree.
'Agree' is a b verb, not an adjective.

2. 'Agree' can be used with an infinitive or a 'that-clause'.

She agreed that I was right.
3. Several prepositions are possible, depending on the meaning and context.
a. You agree about a subject of discussion:

b. You agree on a matter for decision:

c. You agree to a proposal:
He's agreed to our suggestion about the holiday.
d. You agree with an opinion, an idea, an analysis, an explanation, etc:
I completely agree with your views on Jolie.
e. You agree with a person:

4. A passive structure in possible with plural subject; this is rather formal:
