Commensurate WITH or TO? Which is the correct preposition?

The word “commensurate” means that something has a suitable value in realtion to the value provided. You  use “commensurate”  with the preposition “with” to connect the two things we are comparing in value.

Example:

The amount of work required is commensurate with the salary provided. 

Commensurate With

We use the preposition “with” with a verb or adjective when we mean “in relation to”. This is exactly the situation for the adjective “commensurate”.

I hope the punsihment is commensurate with the crime.

Commensurate + No preposition

We can also use “commensurate” without a preposition. We do this when the object of “commensurate” is implied or obvious.

I hope the punsihment is commensurate.
