Translate the following: 'Last night I went to the cinema with my friends.' Comment on your use of verbs and word order.

Gestern Abend bin ich mit meinen Freunden ins Kino gegangen. Use of verbs: 'bin' instead of 'habe' as 'gehen' is a verb of motion. Word order: 'mit meinen Freunden' before 'ins Kino' because you mention the manner of going before the place you're going to. Word order: 'gegangen' at the end of the sentence because auxilliary verbs like 'haben' and 'sein' send the second verb to the end.
