Hi everybody!
I �d like you to help me with a grammatical question: Is ther any difference between the use of related to and related with? Thanks in advance. Have a good day, the weekend is round the corner! |

Hi there,
as far as I know there is only a grammatical difference, "related to" is grammatically correct, although "related with" is also used, but it is less common.... That is what I know, maybe others know a different distinction. . .
bye, zuzana

I would always use �related to �.

I don �t think related "with" is correct . . . |

I also know that only "related to" is grammatically correct, I was just wondering how to explain that on the internet you can come across a lot of sentences with "related with"... any ideas?

I can �t think of a case where we use "related with". "related to" is correct |

zuzana, maybe the sentences you came across on the internet were written by ... Greeks. 
"Related with" is very common among Greek students due to mother tongue interference.

It �s definitely �related to �. If you have seen �related with � it is either a non-native speaker or a native speaker with poor command of their own language (it happens more than you �d think!!!)
Many languages, such as Spanish (relacionado con) and apparently Greek, would directly translate from L1 as �related with � - it �s a common mistake! The prepositions in any language are complicated!
