One more thing if I may... It would sound better if you say 友達に instead of 友達と. I know you hear the latter among young people, but they will change in time because they already know that adults don't use と there. They pretend they don't hear us so they can keep talkin' cool.  |
Thanks for the insight Nagoyankee. I always have difficulty with particles and my self study time is very short (my own fault).
