    Succeed in / with
    Message from thanhhai97 posted on 09-06-2014 at 07:11:55 (D | E | F)
    Hello,
    I don't know why in this sentence "I hope you succeed with this research" they use 'succeed with'.
    If I use "succeed in", truth or false is it right or wrong?
    Thank you for any reply.

    Hello
    in my own opinion both the "succeed with this research" and "succeed in this research" have no grammatical error, but differ in meaning.

    Aian, please explain the difference between "succeed in" and "succeed with".

    Hello,

    We generally use 'succeed in' in BrE.
    'Succeed with' is used in some sentences but I am wondering about it...

    I don't think aian has any serious argument for what he said.

    Hello

    You can succeed with your research, succeed with men or women ... => + Noun
    but I'd say succeed in doing something : succeed in implementing a research ; succeed in passing your exam ! => + Verb ...

    ok .
    succeed in doing something is correct not succeed with doing something

    Hello here4u,
    What you say makes sense. I usually say succeed with 'something' and succeed in 'doing' something.
    But unfortunately there are exceptions to every rule I suppose. Because in the dictionary I use it says "A woman who succeeded in politics".
    I am not quite certain if I am supposed to (allowed to) mention the name of the dictionary because I quoted the phrase above from it.

    Hello ,
    succeed at something
    to prosper or flourish in some task. I hope I can succeed at the task you have assigned me. I am sure you will succeed at it.

    Hello !
    Well ! If necessary, that gives us one more example of the complexity of all languages and of English in particular ... Let's stop being too rigid and let the language change a little ... even if our 'guts are ripped off', sometimes ...'(sigh!)
