go somewhere with someone or go with someone somewhere?

Factual Questions

Hi

Is it “go somewhere with someone” or “go with someone somewhere”?

eg. I went to London with my parents or I went with my parents to London?

I look forward to your feedback.

Both are perfectly cromulent usage. Isn’t it nice how English gives you choices? :wink:

To some extent it will depend on what you wish to emphasise. The first example puts the stress on ‘London’ so that is the important part. The second emphasises your parents - the fact that you went with them was more important than the destination.

Both are correct grammatically. You might prefer one grammatically correct structure over another if there is an ambiguity, but in your example there is no ambiguity.
