On (impersonal pronoun)
In spoken French, "on" often replaces "nous" and means "we" in informal contexts.
Est (être, present)
The third‑person singular form of "être" is used with "on" because "on" takes singular verb agreement.
Tous (adverb of totality)
"Tous" placed before the adjective or phrase emphasizes that every member of the group shares the same state.
d'accord (set phrase)
"d'accord" literally means "of agreement" and functions as an adjective meaning "agree" or "okay".

Cultural Tip
In France, "on" is the go‑to pronoun for informal "we" and sounds more natural than "nous" in everyday speech. However, in very formal settings (e.g., a business presentation) you might prefer "nous sommes tous d'accord". Also, remember that "tous" is pronounced /tu/ before a vowel‑starting word like "d'accord" – the final "s" is silent.
