  • Dear Mod,
    • 6
  • Thanks for asking this question!
    • 7
  • "With" and "within" are both prepositions.
    • 8
  • Prepositions describe a relationship to an area, place or time between two nouns.
    • 9
  • Let us start with "with!"
    • 10
  • "With" has several different uses.
    • 11
  • And depending on what the situation is, the meaning can change a bit.
    • 12
  • The first use of "with" means together.
    • 13
  • I went to the café with my friends.
    • 14
  • In this sentence, I did not go to the café alone. My friends and I went together.
    • 15
  • A second use of "with" describes a close relationship between two nouns, and it means "along," "nearby" or "among."
    • 16
  • Does that hat go with this shirt?
    • 17
  • In this question, the person is asking if the hat and shirt go along together or match.
    • 18
  • And a final use of "with," means being in opposition or against something.
    • 19
  • She had a fight with her sister.
    • 20
  • We can see in this sentence that sisters are having a fight or argument. They are against each other.
    • 21
  • And now for "within."
    • 22
  • "Within" is also a preposition and is a combination of "with" and "in."
    • 23
  • There are two uses of "within."
    • 24
  • The first use means a period of time. For example, we can say:
    • 25
  • The winner of the contest should answer within 2 days.
    • 26
  • This sentence means that the winner has 2 days to answer back and no more than 2 days.
    • 27
  • The last meaning of "within" describes a relationship between two nouns in an area, space, or limit. It can mean "inside of."
    • 28
  • There are many organs within the body.
    • 29
  • This sentence means that inside the body, there are a lot of organs.
    • 30
  • The store is within walking distance of my apartment.
    • 31
  • This sentence means that the store is close or nearby to my apartment, so I can walk to it.
