Preposition
Which of these sentences correct:
a) "The jufge was compassionate with him, and did not convict him."
b) "The jufge was compassionate of him, and did not convict him."
Top answer
"With" is correct, but your use of "and" is not the best. Additionally, there would be no comma before "and" because you have a compound subject ("was" and "did") rather than a compound sentence. Because the judge was compassionate with him, he did not convict him.
