<p>Why is the bolded part of the sentence below wrong? I put no error.</p>
<p>"It was a Chinese American grower who finally succeeded with adapting the now familiar orange tree to the American climate." </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I think it should be ‘in adapting’. You succeed IN something (an endeavour), not WITH. Correct me if I’m wrong. :)</p>
<p>Yes, yellowcat you’re right. It should be ‘succeed in.’ Check out the following link for validation: [succeed</a> in - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.](<a href=“Succeed in]succeed - Idioms by The Free Dictionary”>Succeed in - Idioms by The Free Dictionary)</p>
