In this video, learn how to use "compare to" and "compare with". You'll learn what the difference is between "compare to" and "compare with" and you'll learn which one you should use. 

Both "compare to" and "compare with" are used when two things are placed side by side to examine their similarities and/or differences. 

Both "compare to" and "compare with" use "compare" as the main verb. The verb "compare" needs to be conjugated with the subject and the time reference. 

There are two acceptable prepositions: "compare to" and "compare with". The choice between the two depends on what you're comparing. 

If you're talking about similarities, use "compare to". 

If you're talking about differences, use "compare with". 

Native speakers don't usually follow this rule. Native speakers generally use "compare to" for both similarities and/or differences, or they use "compare to" and "compare with" interchangeably.
