going out with

Post by Lilianayang »

How long have you been going out with each other?

May I know if the word "with" is needed in this sentence?

If I say, "how long have you been going out each other?", is that okay or it sounds strange?

Thank you in advance!

The preposition "with" is necessary in that case.If you leave it out, the sentence will be incorrect, but I think it would be better to say How long have you been going out together?.

Then, how about "get along with"?
Get along with each other? or Get along each other?

Only "get along with each other" is correct.
