she walked a few

Hi,

Is ''She walked a few steps with me'' correct?

 

[Raymott]

Yes, it's grammatical.

What's the context? Was one of you ill or infirm?

 

[Untaught88]

Neither ill nor infirm. Suppose I was going somewhwere. On the way, I met my friend who walked a few steps with me and talked to me about something and then he went back.

Walking a few steps would not give you time to talk about anything. You should have given the context in the first post.

I was walking to ... when I met my friend who joined me. We talked as we walked before we parted ways.

That's not the first time we have told you that, Untaught.

 

[Untaught88]

Let me change it. She just walked a few steps with me and then went back. So "She walked a few steps with me" is correct or not?

 

[GoesStation]

It's correct.

Perhaps:

She walked a few steps with me, and then she went in a different direction.

I know there is some exaggeration but is it possible to walk with somebody for a few steps and have a chat while doing it?

The phrase "a few steps" suggests that it would definitely be a brief conversation.
