HSK 5 Verb usage

加以

To apply (an action) to (加以)

Structure (对 + object)+ 加以 + two-syllable verb

加以 (jiāyǐ) is another formal "support" verb: it announces that an action (two syllables) will be applied to something already mentioned. 这个问题需要加以解决 = "this problem needs to be resolved"; 他的建议值得加以考虑 = "his suggestion is worth considering". The object comes BEFORE (often with 对); after 加以 only the verb follows. Very much written language.
