I was watching The West Wing season one, episode eight, & while describing having a meal with her father, one character uses the phrase, "I had breakfast with him and I walked with him back."
That syntax struck me as unusual, I would ordinarily say that "I walked back with him."
What do you folks think?
@Zarestad,
You are right. Slightly unusual.
You expect something else to come at the end, for example "I walked with him back to our place."
@Zarestad,
Without Mac's ending I'd agree w/ yours. Also we'd say, "…and I walked him back" so as to avoid the rep
