What kind of error is it?
Spelling and grammatical error
Why do people make this mistake?
People often mistakenly separate "within" into "with in" due to confusion or a lack of understanding that "within" is a single word serving as a preposition.
What is correct?
The correct form is "within," which is a preposition or adverb that means "inside the limits of something" or "not exceeding a particular time or spatial boundary."
Examples of correct usage
- The report will be completed within three days.
- Please stay within the boundaries of the park.
- We must finish the task within the allocated time.
