American English has many phrasal verbs or verbs with preposition. Therefore, we have slice with, attend to, and break into.
Slice with is not a true phrasal verb since “with” is an optional preposition.
We use the knife to slice the bread => We use the knife to slice the bread with => is rather redundant.
However, “with what do you slice the bread?” or “what do you slice the bread with?”
On the other hand, “attend” and “attend to” have different meanings
I attend school during the day, and attend to my sick brother in the evenings.
Similarly, “break” and “break into” have different meanings.
My sister broke the glass vase by accident, and immediately broke into tears.
