For you and for me (definition for both of us')
Hi teachers,
Would 'for you and for me' be an appropriate definition for 'for both of us' in the following sentence?
I think the seat is wide enough for both of us, isn't it?
Thanks in advance.
I have no intention to substitute that phrase or word for the original one at all. It is just to explain the meaning to the students. That phrase has 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.
