Preposition

While doing an exercise on prepositions, I came across the following sentence:

She had problems ___ reading the instructions

I filled 'with' in, but the website said the correct answer should be 'in'.
Is this really true?

Vince..

I'm pretty sure you are correct; it should be "problems with ...."

Actuallly,
I'd say 'in'. It sounds more grammatical and correct. Listen: 'She had problems in reading the instructions.' I say it sound like a proper sentence and i've heard people say it that way with 'in'. Does anyone agree with me here?

Hi,

I agree with Cookie that 'in' sounds gramatically correct.
