用法与细微差别
This is an informal British English expression. Used when splitting bills, especially for meals. 'Go halves' is usually for two people only; for groups, say 'split the bill.' Common mistakes: using it for more than two people, or as a noun (it's a verb phrase). Often followed by 'on' ('go halves on the pizza').
