Note
Plain confront covers I, you, we and they; the -s form belongs to he, she, it and any singular noun. Nearly every use takes a direct object, and adding with brings someone face to face with something: she confronts him with the letter. Without an object it means to engage in confrontation, and in another sense it sets two things side by side to compare them.
