Do you agree to me?

If you don't hate prepositions, you haven't tried to learn enough languages. I sometimes hear my Germany colleagues say something like "I agree to him". One agrees with someone or something when you're expressing that two people have the same view on a topic. Prepositions are a pain. Do you agree with me?

By the way, "agree to" means to consent, e.g., She agreed to the conditions in the contract.
