Details about と:
と is a particle that is often thought of as meaning 'and' in English, which is quite often how it can be translated. In a broader sense, と simply shows that there is a relationship of 'compilation' between (A) and (B). That relationship could be existing together (translated as 'and'), or performing an action together (translated as 'with').
- ピーナッツとビール。Peanuts and beer.
- 彼女と食べる。I eat with my girlfriend.
- 消しゴムとペンと鉛筆もある。There is an eraser, pen, and a pencil too.
