"Yes, I agree with you."

Question

Could you explain why the English "Yes, I agree with you." would be translated to the French "Oui, j'accorde avec toi."? I would have thought it would be "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi" and even Google Translate renders it that way. Not that I am saying Google Translate is authoritative, but I don't really recall "j'accorde" even being in that lesson. But I will go back and look for it again. Thanks.

(Added a couple of minutes later: I did another quiz and this time it agreed with my "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi".)

Accepted Answer

Hi Stan, 
I doubt very much that we would use 
oui, j'accorde avec toi 
for 
I agree with you
because it is wrong.
You could say:

Je suis d'accord avec toi
Je partage ton avis
D'accord !

Where did you see this? 
There is a verb 'accorder' but it is used differently, as in -
J'accorde beaucoup d'importance à l'éducation = I attach great importance to education
or using 's'accorder' the reflexive form of the verb 
Nous nous accordons sur ce point = We agree on this point
But you cannot say -  'accorder avec quelqu'un'
