Sign inWith vs. Along With
Are you confused about when to use 'with' or 'along with' or if they are interachangeable?
What Is Their Main Difference?
The main difference between 'with' and 'along with' is that 'with' is a preposition and 'along with' is a phrase composed of the prepositions 'with' and 'along.'
Together with Someone or Something
When we want to show that another accompanied something or someone, we use 'with' or 'along with.' Have a look:
I went to the bar
I went to the bar
Are They Interchangeable?
'With' can always replace 'along with' but 'along with' cannot replace 'with' unless it is used to indicate the meaning of 'together with.' This is because 'with' has various other functions and shares none of them with 'along with,' like indicating possession and tools used to fulfill an action.
