Questions & Answers about Sono d'accordo su questo punto.
Why does it say sono instead of a specific verb for "agree"?
Why is there an apostrophe in d'accordo?
It is a contraction of the preposition di (of) and the noun accordo (agreement). When di is followed by a word starting with a vowel, the "i" is dropped and replaced with an apostrophe to make it easier to pronounce.
Why use the preposition su here?
Could sono also mean "they agree" here?
Yes! The verb form sono is used for both "I am" and "they are." Without extra context or a subject pronoun like io (I) or loro (they) at the beginning, this sentence could just as easily mean "They agree on this point."
