Hello I would like to know if it is possoble to use the following : "I'm agreed", since the general usage is not in passive (although it is accepted People are agreed.....). Thanks.
I am agreed
I am being agreed
I was agreed
I was being agreed
I have been agreed
I had been agreed
I will be agreed
I would be agreed
I would have been agreed
to be agreed
to have been agreed
being agreed
having been agreed
I can't recall have I ever used these aspects? probably not.
It doesn't sit very naturally with me. Is there a reason you don't want to just say "I agree."?
be agreed (on / about sth.) / be agreed that
if people are agreed or something is agreed everyone has the same opionion about something.

eg.
Are we all agreed on this?
It was agreed that we all should hold this meeting.
"We're agreed on expediting the UN resolution for a joint UN-African Union peace force", said Mr. Bush.
It seems to me that "be agreed" is used impersonal.

Yeah, the "we are agreed" sounds okay, but not the single-person "I am agreed." Do you really find this used much?
Sorry, it was just meant to help clarify this question.
I'm a bit confused /irritated by your reaction.![]()
Some people may find it useful / helpful, others may not. That applies to every post in this forum.
We should appreciate the efforts that people make.
Your first answer wasn't much more helpful (for me!) than mine was. That's why I looked it up in my dictionary, wondered about the entry and decided to post it here in order to discuss it.
Maybe too thin-skinned today. But sometimes I feel that I have to be perfect although I'm a learner.
