I thought "go together" could be used only when the subject is plural, such as "Shall we go together?" or "Let's go together."
And I think "I'm going there. Would you go together?" or "I'm going there. Why don't you come together?" are strange.
Am I correct?
If so, should I put "with" at the end of the following sentence?
If you are coming, I'm not going! You find someone to go together! |

You're correct! "Together" means more than one, so it's used with plural subjects.
"I'm going there. Would you go together?" or "I'm going there. Why don't you come together?" are strange.
Am I correct? YES! You could say, "I'm going there. Let's go together." or "I'm going there. Do you want to go together." or "I'm going there. Why don't we go together?"
If so, should I put "with" at the end of the following sentence?
If you are coming, I'm not going! You find someone to go together!
No, it would be better to say, "If you are coming, then I'm not going! You'll have to find someone else to go with." |

Thank you so much for your answer, Suzanne-san!!
I'd like to make sure about the following points.
1. I'm going there. Do you want to go together/go with me/come with me?
All are OK?
2. You'll have to find someone else to go with/ go together.
Is "go together" also OK? |

Is "go together" also OK?No, "go with" is correct.
Good for you! Sometimes, these little grammar points are tricky. |
