Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Use "was facilitated by" instead of "was facilitated with" for grammatically correct phrasing. For example: 'The project's success was facilitated by the team's dedication'.
Common error
Avoid using "with" after "facilitated" because it's grammatically incorrect; the correct preposition is "by". Consider that "facilitated" means 'to make easier', and 'by' indicates the means or agent through which something is made easier.
