“In the right combination” vs “with the right combination”?












3















I just realized that both seems to mean the same thing. However, I am not sure if this is something that's context-dependent or not. What do you think?



For example:




I pressed and used the buttons at the right time and in the right
combination.



I pressed and used the buttons at the right time and with the right
combination.

  • Improvement-- change "in the right time" to "at the right time". "At" is the correct preposition to use.

  • Further to the comment by @DonB., I read the example sentences as referring to a rhythm game, for which "in time" (meaning "to a particular rhythm or beat") would be correct. If you didn't mean this, then "at the right time" is correct.

Interesting question! I've never thought about this before.



This might depend on the individual and the dialect, so I will only be answering for myself and Australian English.



In a combination is used to describe a series of actions (for example, pressing buttons) being done in a particular order. The actions themselves are the combination.




I pressed the buttons in the right combination.




With a combination is used to describe an action (for example, opening a lock) that needs to use a combination (a particular sequence). The action is not part of the combination.




I opened the lock with the right combination.




So in your question, "in the right combination" is correct.

    I suggest using I pressed and used the buttons in combination with right time and right combination. If you'd like to use with the right combination I think you should add of sth after combination, i.e. with the right combination of sth Please refer to this post

                      How to label and detect the document text images

                      Image
                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
