May 23, 2011 at 13:27 comment added martin jakubik Your example is good, but I don't think it's really a question of "with" vs. "by". Some verbs only take "with", some only "by", and some take both but the meaning changes. I won't bet on this, but I would say it's a matter of remembering every pair.
