Surprised by or with the room
|
|
Hi,
Hope you can help me with something.I �m marking some exams and I have a stupid doubt. Which one is correct, I was surprised by the room? Or, I was surprised with the room?
Thanks |

Well Akanah, I think either of those is OK - and I would add that �surprised at � is also acceptable if you are discussing the state of the room. You will also see �surprised about �. �Surprised with � is not really so common; it �s not wrong, but I would go for one of the others. |
