Why does 喜欢 go before 跟 in 他喜欢跟她在一起? I am somewhat new to Chinese and was learning “跟”. One of the sentences is &quot;he likes to be with her&quot; and 我的老师 says the correct form is

他喜欢跟她在一起。

Would anyone be capable of breaking down the structure of this sentence?
他喜欢跟她在一起.

Grammatically, we understand it as 他/喜欢/[跟她][在一起].
他: Subject(主语)
喜欢: Predicate(谓语)
跟她在一起: Object(宾语)
跟她 is a prepositional phrase modifying the verbal phrase 在一起.
Semantically, the sentence means he likes being together with her.
跟她: with her
在一起: being together
他喜欢: he likes
