Anna is going out with Tom—they've been together for six months.
In my country, it's common for people to go out with someone for a year or two before getting married.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I'm going out her.
Say: I'm going out with her.
Don't drop 'with' — 'go out WITH someone' = date them. ('Go out' alone = leave the house for fun.)
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Going out with' is the casual way people say they're dating; the formal version is stiff.
