Does the verb &quot;provide&quot; always have to be used with &quot;with&quot;? For example,  Can you provide me with some good examples? Can you provide me some good examples? Can you provide some good examples?  I suppose it's a transitive verb, isn't it? Moreover, is the following type of usage correct?  You should provide food for your dog before you go on vacation.  If you could give me some good examples regarding &quot;provide&quot; with different types of usage, I'd appreciate that.

I've often heard people saying this. And even I say it when someone accuses me of doing something that I didn't do.  I'd say:  Why would I do that?  But what's the grammar behind it?  Is it future from the past tense or something or what? It's obviously not a conditional construction 😒  Context from SE01 EP02 Austin &amp; Ally  Austin: what does the jacket have to do with the music video?  Trish: It's a line in Ally's song, "my jacket's in the lost and found."  Ally: "my jacket"? It says "I like it." The line is "I like it when you hang around."  Dez: "hang around"? I thought it said "kangaroo." ♪ I like it when you kangaroo. ♪.  Ally: Why would I write "I like it when you kangaroo"?

Consider the brief passage:     "I love your work, but calling you 'the artist' {1} just doesn't seem to be   cutting it anymore. What shall I call you?"      "OK. Call me George." {2}   So my instincts tell me to put {1} in single quotes as opposed to no punctuation (or perhaps even italics) but to do the opposite for {2}. Is this right? Why?  Let me expand this one further iteration:     "Wow, that's a great name, especially with this crowd. Maybe for your next book    you should call yourself Ringo."{3}

I'm trying to write a cover letter for a fairly prestigious job, and I'm aiming for (arguably too much) perfection in my cover letter. I don't want to be turned away only because the hiring people though I was too careless with my punctuation and capitalization.  My sentence goes as follows:     I hope to one day go on to complete a Masters degree in Computer Science with a focus in Applied Cryptography.   I've never been great with the technical rules of the English language, despite being a native speaker.

First of all, English is not my first language. I have a question, maybe a basic one, about this phrase:     The situation highlights the mismatch between some areas of training and available jobs to/for them.   Should it be "available jobs to them" or "available jobs for them"?  Sorry if the question is really basic.

I am going on holidays in two days for two weeks, but before going I would like to see my friend: shall I say  It would be nice to see you before I leave. It would be nice to see you before I left.  I think the second one is better, as it is not a real situation but a wish.

Given the following sentences:   They helped us frame some experimental evaluations. They helped us to frame some experimental evaluations. They helped us in framing some experimental evaluations. They helped us on framing some experimental evaluations.   Are all them grammatically correct or not? Are there any semantical nuances introduced by each alternative (and why), or do they mean exactly the same? Are there any other alternatives besides these 4 to convey the same meaning? Finally, which alternative is the best one, or does it depend on the context or writing style?

Consider these two sentences: "I gave him a pencil," and, "I gave a pencil to him."  Is it correct that the important part of the sentence is placed at the end? When we want to emphasize the pencil that I gave him, must we say, "I gave him a pencil?" When we want to emphasize that it is him to whom I gave a pencil, must we say, "I gave a pencil to him?"

I have one question, what is the best way to say that sentence below? Are both grammatically correct?     He has been working on mobile development for 4 years and has published more than 15 apps.   or     He has been working on mobile development for 4 years, having published more than 15 apps.

I am writing an ad and would like to write: "Our team of economists are at your service and available by phone or email.  They will be happy to respond...".  I know that grammatically speaking, 'team' is the subject of the sentence and, being singular, would dictate that 'it' is "at your service".  BUT, it just feels better reading this and it evokes a picture of a bunch of economists doing what they do rather than a single unit".  Is what I'm doing OK?  Should I be arrested by the grammar police?

which is correct:  Thank you for your and your team's time  or  Thank you for yours and your team's time  and should (or does it make a difference if) I place commas before and after "and your team's"  ... thanks!!

I believe the sentence in the title is grammatically correct.   Recently I've seen too many people writing it this way:     I'm not sure what is the right way.   Is it grammatically correct as well? Maybe in a different sense? Or simply misuse by non-native speakers?

I'm writing a resume right now targeted towards a specific company. My girlfriend (a classmate) and I were (see, I don't know if that's the right word, hence this question!) the first from our school to be awarded a scholarship from this company.  Is it more correct to say:     Awarded such and such scholarship in 2011. A classmate and I were the first students from my college to be awarded this scholarship.   Or:     Awarded such and such scholarship in 2011. A classmate and I was the first students from my college to be awarded this scholarship.   The first seems much more correct when spoken, but the rule I've been taught is to take the other person out and use the words that make sense about just you.

I am wondering if the following sentence is correct:     We add the information their study provides with to our article.   The context is: their study provides with some information. And we add the information to our article.  I want to keep the word "add", and someone told me that "provides with to" sounds wired...

Some people used to say:      Thank you very much.   Where others say:      Thank you so much.   Could anybody please explain what differences there may be between those, whether of correctness or usefulness or anything else that separates one version from the other.
