[Grammar] He is self-centred, with little interest in the organisation's needs.

He is self-centred, with little interest in the organisation's needs.

what does 'with' mean here?
I have two assumptions:

1) He is self-centred, who have little interest in the organisation's needs.
2) He is self-centred, and have little interest in the organisation's needs.

Neither is correct if you use the verb form "have" with "he". Change that first and then we can work on the rest.

 

[newkeenlearner]

Thanks. I often have problem with subject-verb agreement. I am so careless about it.
Are they correct now?

1) He is self-centred, who has little interest in the organisation's needs.
2) He is self-centred, and has little interest in the organisation's needs.

 

[teechar]

You've got the right idea with #2.

 

[GoesStation]

Number 1 is wrong. You could replace "who" with a conjunction to make it correct.

 

[emsr2d2]

If you want to keep "who", you can change the start to "He is a self-centred man/person/employee, ...".
