## Definition

to agree with someone or something. You use this when you share the same opinion as another person.

For teachers: to agree with a statement, opinion, or finding. Often used in formal or academic contexts to indicate that multiple parties share the same conclusion.

## Examples

- I concur with your decision.
- The board of directors met today and decided to concur with the committee's recommendation to expand.
- While the lead researcher initially faced skepticism, several independent studies now concur that the original hypothesis was correct, leading to a significant shift in the field.

## Pitfalls

- Not "I concur you on this" but "I concur with you on this" — Concur is intransitive and requires the preposition 'with' before the person or opinion being agreed with.

## Usage notes

- The verb is intransitive and typically takes the preposition 'with'.
