...struggle with coming up with the right words

Hi all

Is this natural?

"At times I struggle with coming up with the right words"

Thanks

It is, but I think I'd be more likely to say "Sometimes, I struggle to come up with the right words."

You can also say "Somtimes, it's a struggle to ..." rather than "I struggle to."

For what it's worth, I DO say things like that all the time! (Fortunately, it usually resolves itself eventually!)

Hi,

Yes, it is, because it is slightly awkward.

A bit more stylish would be to avoid the two uses of 'with' by saying

"At times I struggle to come up with the right words".
