talk with vs talk

Both 'talk with' and 'talk' are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Talk with' is commonly used when referring to having a conversation with someone, indicating a two-way communication. On the other hand, 'talk' can be used more generally to refer to communication without specifying the recipient. The choice between the two depends on the specific context and the level of formality desired.
