What kind of error is it?
Redundancy error
Why do people make this mistake?
People mistakenly believe that "alongside" and "with" together emphasize their meaning, but both terms independently convey the idea of accompanying. Combining them is unnecessary.
What is correct?
"Along with" and "alongside" are both correct, but they should not be combined as "alongside with".
Examples of correct usage
- She was sitting alongside her friend.
- He worked on the project alongside his colleagues.
- She brought her laptop along with her notebook.
- The manager came along with their assistant.
