Grammar
and; with (someone)
Use と to connect two or more things (like a list), or to say you do something with someone. When listing things, put と between each item. When talking about doing something with a person, put と after that person.
Pattern
[noun] と [noun]
[person] と [verb]
[Noun A] と [Noun B] = A and B [Person] と [verb] = do something with [person]
Examples
- と only works for a complete, fixed list. If you mean something like and so on, use a different pattern.
- When you say you do something with someone, と always goes right after the person: 友達と行く (go with a friend).
