The store was given verbal warnings but its premises continued to be overcrowded at about 7.15pm later that day, and was issued an advisory letter.
Should it be “issued with” instead in British English? I think “issued” (without “with”) is American English.
Thanks.
Use of with seems to be related to the choice of the indirect object in passive voice. (Compare: ‘The store was issued with an advisory.’ or ‘An advisory was issued to the store.’) In the case of verbs like provide, supply etc we may find its presence if the indirect object is dominant)
However, when we consider the active voice, we say we provide shelter to the homeless, supply food to the hungry etc rather than we provide the homeless with shelter, we supply the hungry with food. (Here it is dependent on whether the direct or the indirect object comes first)
