Common mistakes
When using 跟 as 'with' to form comitative structures (e.g., 我跟他去), it cannot be followed by 不 to negate; use 不跟 instead (我不跟他去).
Formality
跟 as a conjunction is common in spoken Chinese, while 与 and 和 are preferred in formal writing.

When several adverbials come before one verb, Chinese puts time first, then adverbs like 都 and 已经, then descriptions and preposition phrases, with the verb last.
Use 一起 before the verb to say people do something together.
Use the preposition 与 like a more formal 跟 or 和: 与……联系, 与……有关, 与……相比.
Say “A isn’t as good as B” with 不如 and “compared with…” with 跟……相比, as in 我的汉语不如他好.
Use 给 to say who receives an action, like 给妈妈打电话, and 跟 to say who you do something with, like 跟朋友一起去.
Connect people and things, and say who you do something with.
Compare equality instead of difference.
