The short answer
Concordar is the everyday verb for agreeing. The present form concordo means ‘I agree.’ You can use it on its own when the idea is clear from context.
Use concordo to agree
Concordo. Esse horário é melhor.
I agree. That time is better.
Eu concordo com você.
I agree with you.
Use com before the person or idea
When you name what or whom you agree with, concordar is followed by com: concordar com alguém or concordar com uma ideia. The preposition stays com even when the English wording changes.
A gente concorda com a proposta.
We agree with the proposal.
Você concorda com o professor?
Do you agree with the teacher?
Choose a natural level of formality
Estar de acordo also means to agree and can sound a little more formal or deliberate. To disagree politely, say entendo, mas não concordo (I understand, but I don’t agree).
Estou de acordo com essa mudança.
I agree with that change.
Entendo seu ponto, mas não concordo.
I understand your point, but I don’t agree.
Put it into practice
Use concordo for ‘I agree,’ concordar com before a person or idea, and estou de acordo for a more deliberate agreement.
