People get together when they meet socially.
The idea
In neutral everyday English, get together has no direct object. Say get together with friends or get together with them; do not separate the two words.
Examples
- We get together for lunch every month.
- My friends got together at the park yesterday.
- Can we get together with your cousins on Saturday?
- The neighbours are getting together for a picnic.
- I would like to get together with Lina after work.
- Our family gets together on New Year’s Day.

Watch out
Do not say get friends together to mean meeting them: that means gathering people. Use get together with friends for a social meeting.
