Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "correspond" with "respond". "Respond" means "to answer" or "to react" (e.g. "He responded to my email"), while "correspond" in this sense means "to match" or "to be the same as" (e.g. "The email address does not correspond to the name"). Learners also worry about "correspond to" vs. "correspond with". Both are used; "correspond to" is slightly more common for general matching, while "correspond with" is frequent when comparing facts or accounts ("The two accounts correspond with each other").

Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "correspond" alone to mean "answer" (e.g. "He corresponded to my message"), which is incorrect. In this sense, you must say "correspond with" or "correspond by" to show how you communicate ("He corresponded with me by email"). For a simple reply, use "answer" or "respond" instead.

Častá chyba:
Learners often do not see the difference between this technical sense and the more general "match/agree" sense. Here, "correspond" is about a structured relationship between two sets (often one-to-one), as in mathematics, data tables, or coding systems. In less technical talk, it is usually enough to say that things "match" or "are the same" instead of "correspond".
