OMG, MS used this, a special English usage, which I did not know!
I agree for something, or I agree with somebody I agree on something: Which is Grammarly correct in English grammar?
ChatGPT
All three phrases are grammatically correct in English, but they are used in slightly different contexts:
"I agree for something" - This is less commonly used and may not be as idiomatic. It can be used to express agreement with a specific condition or arrangement. For example: "I agree for a higher salary."
"I agree with somebody" - This is a common and standard way of expressing agreement. It means that you share the same opinion or viewpoint as someone else. For example: "I agree with John; the movie was fantastic."
"I agree on something" - This is also commonly used and refers to reaching a mutual understanding or consensus on a particular topic or issue. For example: "We finally agree on the new marketing strategy."
In most cases, "I agree with somebody" and "I agree on something" are the more commonly used phrases, depending on the context in which you want to express your agreement.
