Given the following sentence
When I arrived home I could not stop thinking about why I had agreed helping him.
The correct way of writing it is
When I arrived home I could not stop thinking about why I had agreed to help him.
Is the first sentence incorrect or carries a different meaning?
Best Answer
The word "Agree" has to be followed with a preposition. Thus, the first is incorrect.
"Agree" is commonly followed by "on", "to" or "with". In your case, the second sentence is correct as "to" is used with demands or requests.
