"We can find similar irregularities with undertakings dealing with the production of steel ..." (?)
Yes, "with" can be used in this sentence. "Undertaking" has the sense of a process, method or recipe.

Also "in" is acceptable when you mean "inside of"

We can find similar irregularities in businesses dealing with the production of steel

Thank you AlpheccaStars!

I meant "inside of". (where)

I have some difficulties with prepositions, because when I try to translate from my language some do not "sound" right. I am not sure I can explain this any better.

Anyway, problem solved!

Thanks!!!

THIS IS ALL I FOUND I HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBTS

With is one of the most common prepositions in English. As a preposition, it can denote, for example, accompaniment, combination, possession, manner, instrumentality, and means. Besides being a preposition, however, with has two other functions: it can co-ordinate two elements in a clause, or it can function as a subordinatin

I know that there are three types of prepositions: time, location, and direction. My question is: Is "with" a time, location, or direction preposition? Please answer as soon as possible. Thank you in advance!

I had not noticed that there was a complete conversation about this that went much deeper than my original conversation. I thought the conversation was dropped after the first reply, which didn't answer your question at all.

I guess that's why divisions in the middle of a page for advertising purposes is not always a good idea.
