laugh at, about or with?

[Edithe]

I know you use 'laugh at' when you want to express 'to make fun of someone'. You also say: laugh at jokes, but can you also use the preposition 'with' e.g. She laughed with my story? I would be grateful if you could give me the right answer:-D

Welcome to the forums. No, "she laughed with my story" is not correct, it should be "at". You could say "she laughed with me (at the story)."

:up: ... although of course you can laugh with someone if they're laughing too (about the same thing).
