I t's grammatically correct, but it needs a capital letter at the beginning and a period at the end . CJ

Just my curiousty. Shouldn't it be " We have both agreed on what he said" ?

grammarfreakShouldn't it be " We have both agreed on what he said" ?It can also be that. Yes.
to be agreed = to be in agreement
to agree = to assent to the truth or value of (something)
One you agree (make the commitment to agree), you are now "in agreement" or "agreed" about it.

Thanks CJ,
Just to make sure I undersatnd, then " agreed " can be use transitively and intransitively to convey relatively the same core meaning? i.e. John and I are both agreed on the terms of the transaction / John and I have both agreed on the terms of the transaction.

We both are already agreed on what he says.
The word 'both' is not necessary here, and in fact sounds awkward to me.

Hello dear members of the Forum. I, too, would like to ask you something which is related to this thread, i.e., 'to agree' and 'to be agreed', please.
When I hear the verb 'to agree' or the adjective 'agreed', I usually hear the preposition 'with' with them. Also, the preposition 'to', sometimes. I'm wondering if there is any difference between 'to agree w

To me, the use of 'we' suggests the reader/listener already knows who 'we' refers to, and whether it is 2 people or more than 2.
If it is known to be 2, 'both' is not necessary.
eg Mary and I have discussed the meeting. We agree on what was said.

TomJWe both are agreed / we both have agreed with/to what he saysTo agree with someone is to have the same opinion as he or she does.
To agree to do something is to consent to do it.
To agree with what he says is have the same opinion as is expressed by "what he says".
To agree to what he says is to consent to do "what he says".
