Can I also use another form?
I've read the following sentence in a book:
His red stringy hair fell over a face which was covered in pimples the size of apples.
I can also say: "...which was covered with pimples the size of apples.", can't I?
Where is the difference between the two possibilities?
Thank you in advance!
