〜とともに~ to tomo ni

How it works

1. 

   Look at the two people: who am I going to the café with? 「とともに」 tells us who comes along.

2. 

   Put a noun referring to a person before 「とともに」 to show who you do the action with.

3. 

   Use it to describe activities done with others. It sounds fairly formal and is common in writing.

4. 

   The museum example emphasizes visiting together with family, not simply happening to arrive at the same time.
