A couple of times I've tried to say "I agree with..." or "he agrees with..." but I don't know whether I'm using 同意{どうい}する correctly.
In what ways should に同意{どうい}している be used? Also, which particles should be used? Can only に be used before 同意{どうい}する or are there circumstances where other particles are used as well, such as と and を?
In many examples I've found using 同意{どうい}する, I've seen （だ）ということに or just （な）ことに (the だ/な after na adjectives/nouns and without だ/な after i adjectives/verbs it seems.) Is there a specific reason for using one over the other, e.g. is the longer （だ）ということに more polite, and what do these mean?
Some example sentences:
I agree with his opinion:
彼{かれ}の意見{いけん}に同意{どうい}します。I agree with him that oranges are tasty:
オレンジはおいしいということ彼{かれ}に同意{どうい}します。He agrees that apples are tasty:
彼{かれ}はりんごがおいしいことに同意{どうい}します。Many people agree that brussel sprouts don't taste nice:
芽{め}キャベツはおいしくないということに同意{どうい}する人{ひと}が多{おお}い。
