Expert writing Tips

Best practice

Avoid using "give me with" in formal writing. Opt for "provide me with" or simply "give me" followed by the object you want to receive.

Common error

The common mistake is adding "with" after "give me". Remember that "give" usually takes a direct object, or you can use "provide" which requires "with". For instance, say "give me the book" or "provide me with the book", not "give me with the book".

Linguistic Context

The phrase "give me with" functions incorrectly as it attempts to combine the verb "give" with the preposition "with" in a way that violates standard English grammar. Ludwig AI indicates that the phrase is not correct and usable in written English.

FAQs

What's the correct way to ask for something using "give"?

The correct structure is "give me + [the object you want]". For example, "give me the report" is correct, while "give me with the report" is not.

Is "provide me with" interchangeable with "give me"?

While both express the act of providing something, "provide me with" is more formal. You can use alternatives like "supply me with" or "furnish me with" in similar formal contexts.

When is it appropriate to use "give me"?

"Give me" is suitable in most informal and neutral contexts when you're directly requesting something. It's less appropriate in very formal or business settings, where "provide me with" is preferred.

What can I say instead of "give me with"?

Since "give me with" is grammatically incorrect, use alternatives such as "give me" or "provide me with". For example, instead of "give me with the details", say "give me the details" or "provide me with the details".
