Questions & Answers about Je suis d'accord.
Why is there d’ before accord? Why not just Je suis accord?
Is there a single verb for “to agree” in French, or must I use être d’accord?
- The everyday, safest option is être d’accord: Je suis d’accord.

- consentir à (to consent to): Je consens à participer.
- convenir (que/de) (to concede/agree): Je conviens que tu as raison. / Nous convenons de reporter.

Use these when their nuance fits; otherwise stick to être d’accord.
