In a sentence, would she come before you or what? For example, would it be:
"She and you will go to the park tonight."
or
"You and she will go to the park tonight."
Thanks in advance!

I heard that courtesy requires that you put "She" first. Don't worry - both are grammatically correct.

You and she
Two rules:
Make sure the sentence makes since without the other person
"You will go to the park tonight"
"She will go to the park tonight"
When using 'You', it always goes first, just like 'I' always goes last.

No, Steve W....it would NOT be "you and her," for if you took out "you" and left "her," the sentence would make no sense. That's elementary school grammar 101.
To answer your question, either one is suitable; HOWEVER, for the sake of how it rolls off the tongue, you might want to consider using the latter of the two examples.
You and she will go to the park tonight.

It doesn't really matter, but i think You and She has a better flow.
If you replace the pronouns with name you can see the order is unimportant.
Jim and Sue will go to the park tonightt.
Sue and Jim will go to the park tonigh

Actually, it does not matter. Both are correct and can be used either way.
Most people like to put themselves last like She and You went to the Park. I absoutely agree with Rich.
There you are!!
You and her makes sense not you and she.

In the subjective form, it would be "you" and "she" and the sentence in it's most correct form would be: "you" first as in the conjugation of nouns: I am, You are, He/she is, They are....

Neither. It would be "You and her."
