とAnd

と and や are particles used to connect nouns, similar to 'and' in English, but differ slightly. と is used when listing all items explicitly (e.g., りんごとバナナ = 'apples and bananas [only]'). In contrast, や indicates examples from a larger set (e.g., りんごやバナナ = 'things like apples and bananas,' implying there are others).

および and と both connect nouns, similar to the English 'and,' but differ in formality. および is very formal, mostly used in written documents (such as business or academic writing) or formal speeches. In contrast, と is common in everyday conversation and casual writing. Both particles can list items, people, or abstract concepts.

につれて describes changes that occur in proportion to each other, as one progresses, the other does too. と, on the other hand, is a conditional particle used when one event naturally or habitually leads to another. Unlike につれて, と does not imply a proportional relationship between the events.

も and と are two different particles with different meanings. も means 'also' or 'too' and is used to add information, like in 田中さんも来ました ('Tanaka came, too'). と can be used to connect nouns like 'and' (バナナとりんご = 'a banana and an apple') or to mean 'with' (友だちと遊ぶ = 'to play with a friend').

ら is often called a pluralizing suffix, and is used after nouns to mean '(A) and others'. と, on the other hand, is a particle that links nouns like 'and' in English. ら can follow a single noun and implies a group with the other members not mentioned, while と connects multiple items and lists all members explicitly.

と is a basic particle used to connect nouns, similar to 'and' in English, commonly appearing in both speech and writing. と共に, however, is a formal expression meaning 'along with' or 'at the same time as,' and is used with verbs, adjectives, or nouns. It often suggests a mutual or deeper connection, unlike と, which simply connects items without implying additional nuance.

Both the Verb + て form and the particle と can express the meaning of 'and.' The difference is that Verb + て is used to connect verb or verb phrases to the rest of the sentence, while と connects nouns with other nouns. For example, パンとバナナを買った means 'I bought bread and a banana.' To say 'I bought bread, and ate it,' however, you would say パンを買って、食べた.
