Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Always use "is comprised of" instead of "is comprised with". The preposition "of" is necessary for correct grammar.
Common error
Avoid using "is comprised with" as it is grammatically incorrect. Instead, use "is comprised of", "consists of", or rephrase the sentence to use the verb "comprises" correctly. For example, instead of writing, "The team is comprised with five members", write, "The team is comprised of five members" or "The team comprises five members".
