Talk about becoming a member or doing something with others.
The idea
Use join directly before a group or person; add for before an activity. The past is joined.
Examples
- I joined the chess club in May.
- Will you join us for lunch?
- My sister joins the choir on Tuesdays.
- They joined a walking group last week.
- Can we join you for a game?
- Our neighbours want to join the team.
