corresponds
- 1Third-person singular simple present of correspond.
The witness's account corresponds closely with the physical evidence.
She corresponds regularly with friends she met while living abroad.
Note
The -s form never takes a direct object, because both living meanings of correspond are intransitive. When the other side is named, a preposition carries the link: an account corresponds with the evidence, and a friend corresponds with someone abroad. One spelling serves both the matching sense and the letter-writing sense, so the subject usually decides which is meant: a statement or figure for matching, a person for writing. A sexual sense is obsolete.
