which one sounds more native and correct?

Post by userna »

Me and my friend arrived to the theater and watched a movie
or
Me and my friend walked to the theater and watched a movie

personally, walked to the theater sounds better, but will arrived to the theater work too?
thanks!

'Arrive to' is ungrammatical.

Note, by the way, that, for formal/careful usage, it should be 'My friend and I...'
