"友達が試験に合格したので、みんなでレストランに行って祝った。"

 

This translates to "Because my friend passed the exam, we all went to the restaurant to celebrate."

Here's a breakdown of the sentence:

1. 友達が (ともだちが): This phrase is made up of the noun 友達 (friend) and the particle が, which usually marks the subject of the sentence. Here, the friend is the subject of the action of passing the exam.
2. 試験に合格した (しけんにごうかくした): This phrase is made up of the noun 試験 (exam), the particle に which often indicates direction or objective, the verb 合格する (to pass), and the past tense suffix た. So 試験に合格した means "passed the exam".
3. ので: This conjunction is used to give a reason or a cause, similar to "because" or "so" in English.
4. みんなで: みんな is a noun that means "everyone" or "all". The particle で is used after it to indicate means or method, showing that the action was performed by everyone together.
5. レストランに行って (れすとらんにいって): This phrase is made up of the noun レストラン (restaurant), the particle に which often indicates direction or destination, and the te-form of the verb 行く (to go). The te-form is used here to connect actions in time.
6. 祝った (いわいた): This is the past tense of the verb 祝う, which means "to celebrate". It indicates that the action (celebration) has already taken place.

So to put it all together: "Because my friend (友達が) passed the exam (試験に合格したので), we all (みんなで) went to the restaurant (レストランに行って) to celebrate (祝った)."
