Question
Use of with and of on the sentence that follows, what is the rule?
Inquire with/of management the process of handling return checks.
Dear Melba:
Inquire of management.
If you inquire with management, that means you and management need to know how to handle return checks. Perhaps, you & management have an expert in the process.
When you inquire of management, however, they have the answer and can best direct your efforts.
Sincerely,
Kaylyn
