Expressing 'with' or 'together with' using 和 (hé)
Connecting Ideas
Structure
Noun₁ + 和 + Noun₂ + Verb
Explanation
和 (hé) is a conjunction and preposition meaning "and" or "with." It connects nouns, pronouns, or noun phrases to indicate accompaniment or coordination. Unlike English "and," 和 is primarily used to link nouns rather than clauses or verbs.
