Which is better: "tasked with doing" or "tasked to do"?

Question

As the heading says: Which is the better alternative – tasked with doing or tasked to do? Or are they equally good, but used in different contexts? In that case, what's the difference between them?

Thank you!

Answer 1

tasked with is certainly more common.

When used passively

When used actively

Answer 2

Either will do. My personal taste is for fewer words when possible, so would choose "tasked to do" .

In context, I would try for neither. Name the task directly rather than as a request to do it. So

• ... tasked to clean the kitchen.

rather than

• ... tasked to do the kitchen cleanup.

Edit after reading the answer from @AndrewTobilko :

• ... tasked with the kitchen cleanup.
