Hi, You can use the verb hold. It's not synonymous with with , though. There is a man holding a paper in his hands.

Hi,
Thank for your reply.
I have a book about prepositions that says:
With: having, showing an attribute or possession.
Then it gives these examples:
1. Pat has a dog with blue eyes.
2. The car with the broken windown is Bob's.
3. The man with the beard is a professor.
4. The girl with the red hair is my friend.
Do yo
