How do you use the verb Provide? Hi guys, Sometimes it gets me confused because I don't know exactly the correct use of 'provide'. -Provide something for someone -Provide someone something -Provide someone with something Which one is correct?

Provide - means to give or supply. So, technically, all three are correct with a minor grammar change. 1. Provide something for someone -Providing something for someone, or provide something to someone 2. Provide someone something -This is formed as a direction with an understood you, as in "you provide someone something" or it can be rephrased as "can you provide someone something?" or as a statement, "I provided someone something." 3. Provide someone with something -Again, this can be either a direction "you provide someone with something" or formed as a question, "can you provide someone with something?" Do you need sentence examples/suggestions of how best to use the word?

Hi! The first sentence and the last one are both correct. You can use the verb "provide" with both "for" and "with". When you want to use it with "for", you need to bring the object (the person who receives what you provide for him/her) after "for". Here's an example: The new project has provided thousands of jobs FOR the citizens But when you want to use it with the preposition "with", you need to use the object directly after the verb "provide". Here's some examples: 1. The new project has provided citizens WITH thousands of jobs. 2. This type of food will provide you WITH the energy you need in order to do your exercises.
