Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Use the verb "includes" without the preposition "with". For example, instead of saying "The set includes with instructions", say "The set includes instructions".
Common error
Avoid adding "with" after "includes". The verb "include" already implies that something is part of a whole, making "with" unnecessary and grammatically incorrect.
