Is it correspond with or to?

It depends on the context. Here's a breakdown:

Correspond with someone/something:

* Means to communicate with someone.

* Example: "I correspond with my pen pal regularly."

Correspond to something:

* Means to be similar or equivalent to something else.

* Example: "The information in this report corresponds to the data we collected."

* Can also mean to match or fit.

* Example: "This key corresponds to this lock."

In short:

* Use "correspond with" when talking about communication.

* Use "correspond to" when talking about similarity, equivalence, or matching.
