The preposition for "agree"
We always say "agree with someone", but I found we can also use "agree to", "agree on".
I wonder what the differences are between "agree with", "agree to", "agree on".
Thank you very much.

In short:
"Agree with" -person-
"Agree to" -action (verb)
"Agree on" -time, idea-
For example:
She *agreed with Sarah* that they should watch a movie.
They *agreed to go* to the movies at 9 PM.
We should *agree on when* to meet beforehand.
Does that help?

I agree with the people above, but there are some things, like "plans," where all 3 prepositions are OK, but have different meanings.
I agreed with that plan= I thought that that plan was a good plan with correct ideas.
I agreed to that plan= I agreed to follow that plan=I said, "I will follow and comply with that plan"
Bob and I agreed on that plan= the plan was the final result of our negotiations.
"My company was trying to decide between Plan A and Plan B. I agreed with plan A: I thought it was a much better idea. However, my boss and the board of directors agreed on plan B, so now I have to agree to follow plan B, even though I think it's stupid."

"I agree with you",
"I do not agree to sign this document",
"Let's not agree on the fine details right now".
