If you “agree to” do something or “agree to” something, you say that you will do it or you allow someone else to do it. If people “agree on” something, they reach a decision or agreement about it.
2 A activity B act C action D act

“Act” nearly always refers to a specific deed, for example, in Sentence B, “act of kindness” is
a specific deed having been done. “Action” is usually a more generalized usage, or a process
of doing something. For example, in Sentence C, “We must take action” means that we must do something, but it is generalized and does not refer to a specific deed which must be done.
“Activity” is used for something that is done regularly.
