Definitions for together
Hi Teachers,
Would, 'with each other; in each other's company; in company' be appropriate definitions for together in the following sentence?
'We' refers to two people.
A: Perhaps, we can go to the movies together.
Thanks in advance.
I have no intention to substitute those phrases for the original one at all. It is just to explain the meaning to the students. Those phrases except the first one have latin-derived words, so it is easier for the students to understand it. I just have to be sure that I'm not teaching something which is odd, not logical or very unnatural.

A: Perhaps, we can go to the movies together. 'In company' is not a natural phrase here, but the other two are fine.
