I asked to Chat GPT about modification of “focusing”. Correct?
1. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising."
- "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." It suggests that the action plan would involve the team being on this marketing team while simultaneously focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising. The emphasis is on the team's situation and the concurrent focus.
2. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising."
- "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" also modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." The use of "with" suggests a more associative relationship between being on the marketing team and focusing on Web-based advertising.
3. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising."
- "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" directly modifies the action of the team, indicating what they will be doing while being on the marketing team. The emphasis is on the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising.
4. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising."
- "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" similarly modifies the action of the team but is separated by a comma. It conveys a similar meaning to the third sentence, emphasizing the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising, but with a slight pause.
The differences are nuanced, and the choice depends on the specific emphasis and flow you want in your sentence.

"with focusing" is incorrect. So, sentence using that is incorrect.

I have trouble/issues focusing.... without with :)
You could also say "with the focus on".... for example:
"A night of drinks and music, with the focus on the latter."
