Agreement in English grammar is the formal correspondence of words, especially between verbs and their subjects, in terms of person and number. So we say I am, not I are.

This, by the way, is why "aren't I?" is very bad English. It violates agreement in person. Ain't I? is better English, rough as you may find it.
