Help(please)
Hi, there

Could you help me?

1) Would you use "agree", "agree to" or "agree on" in: "The eurozone and IMF AGREE TO/AGREE ON/ AGREE a safety net of 22bn euros to help Greece"

2) Why can you say "You can use examples whether you oppose or support the arguments of the text" but you can't say "You can use examples whether to oppose or to support the arguments of the text"?

Thank you

Answer

Hi,

1) It should be correct to say "agree" in this case, because they decide upon a course of action and reach a formal agreement (plan) about it.

2) Because you're supposed to express your own point of view (supporting or opposing) and the subject (you) needs to be remarked.

Hope it helps.
