Together

Hi teachers,

[Faye and I are not living together. ] Will you please correct the sentences?

1. Faye and I live in the nearby same neighborhood. We always walk home together.

2. Faye lives a couple blocks down the street. We always walk home together. Normally she walks me home first and then she goes on home.

3. If you have known a person for half a year, can you say "We haven't been together for a long time, so I can't loan you the money."

Thanks

Hi AlpheccaStars,

Thanks for correcting the sentences.
