Preposition "with"

Can anyone please tell me if the use of the preposition "with" in the sentence "the verb to be changes with the subject to am, is or are in the present tense" is correct or it should be replaced by "according to"?

Thanks for your help!

"With" is not incorrect, but "according to" is a better way to express what you mean. I have an aversion to rules, but I'll give it a try: In the present tense, the verb "to be" changes according to the subject: I am You are She/he/it is We are You are They are
