One simple question: what is the difference between "check" and "check with"? When I write email, I tend to say "I check with sb to make sure..." and "I checked sth just now and..." Sometimes it just doesn't feel right and I get stumped. Please advise me whether I am writing these sentence correctly. Thanks!
