    Preposition
    `
    There is one very simple rule about prepositions. And, unlike most rules, this rule has no exceptions.
    `
    Rule:
    A preposition is followed by a "noun". It is never followed by a verb.
    By "noun" we include:
    noun (dog, money, love)
    proper noun (name) (Bangkok, Mary)
    pronoun (you, him, us)
    noun group (my first job)
    gerund (swimming)
    `
    A preposition cannot be followed by a verb. If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "-ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.

    We use agree with + a person, idea, or situation:
    `
    I usually agree with my boss.
    Jack agreed with my idea of revising our catalog.
    I don’t agree with allowing professional athletes participate in the Olympics.
    `
    We use agree to + verb:
    `
    I never agreed to fix Jim’s computer. He must be mistaken.
    We agreed to lower the commission rate for just one month for that client.
    Thanks for agreeing to become a member of this website!
    `
    Lastly, we use agree on + an idea or situation. The grammar is agree on + noun / gerund:
    `
    Can we agree on meeting again next week at the same time?
    I hope you can agree on the terms of this contract.
    The CEO finally agreed on the budget for next year.

    Articles: The vs. A/an
    The: Makes the noun you are talking about more specific.
    -
    Example: "The cup has water in it." I'm saying that out of all of the cups there are, the cup I'm talking about is the cup that has the water.
    -
    A/an: Makes the noun you are talking about not specific.
    -
    Examples:
    •"Do you have a pen?" Here you are asking a person if they have any pen and not a certain kind of pen.
    •"Let's read a book". You are saying that it can be any book and not a specific book.
    **Also: Use 'a' when the word starts with a consonant sound (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, z) and use 'an' when the word starts with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u).
