Notes: while using "ile" generally the letter "i" doesn not seem, as in bizim(i)le/with us,but we know that there is a letter there "i",to comprehend it is "ile" or not, we replace it with "ve/and" if the meaning of the sentences are break down,so it is "ile"; if does not break down it is "ve/and"

for example: bizimle kalın(we can not put "ve/and" instead of "le",so it is "ile")
                      (stay with us)
