Definition

Used to say that people have the same opinion or have made the same decision. It can also describe something that has already been accepted or arranged by everyone involved.

Usage & Nuances

Often appears after forms of 'be': 'We are agreed.' It is more formal or fixed than simply saying 'agree'. Common in phrases like 'agreed price' or 'agreed time'. Do not confuse it with the past tense in sentences like 'She agreed to help', where it is a verb, not an adjective.
