moussa
provide A B
Hi, everyone.
As far as I know, 'provide' is used in these ways: 'provide A with B' or provide 'A to B'
But, in the following sentence, "Blockchain technology provides suppliers of these services a means to collaborate", 'provide' is used without 'with' or 'to'.
Can it be used in this way?
Thank you for you help.

Yes. The sentence can be written “provides suppliers” or “provides suppliers WITH.” It means the same thing either way; the “with” is implied. Another example: “This place provides visitors [with] a sense of peace.” The “with” can be omitted. In fact, so can “visitors”: “This place provides a sense of peace.” It is understood from context that it is “visitors” who get the sense of peace.

Many English verbs allow two forms: [verb] [direct object] TO [indirect object] and [verb] [indirect object] [direct object]. Examples: I provided the information to the customer. I provided the customer the information.

It can be used that way as well - provide something. Provide for somebody, provide for something, provide against are also possible
