is it you and i or me and you?

Question

is it proper to say in a sentence "you and i" or "me and you"?

Answer 1

Both are correct, the use of me and i as well. As a mark of curtesy and good manners, pronouns relating to self are placed last. So it becomes "You and Me" and " You and I".

However,You and Me" and " You and I".are both right depending on the context.
See:
you and I are friends. Here, You and Me are friends will be wrong. Note the next sentence,
you and Me have been invited to the party. Writing you and I have been invited is wrong.


Hope you get it. Tell us your sentence.

Answer 2

If the phrase is the subject of a sentence, the correct way is "you and I." If the phrase is the object of a sentence, it is "you and me."

Examples:
As subject,
"You and I are going to look great tonight."
As object,
"When they catch you and me, we'll really be in big trouble."

[In that second sentence, 'you and me' is the object in the prepositional phrase starting with the word 'When.']

If this is still confusing, I suggest you put the words 'sentence structure' in your search engine, probably google, and I'd go to Wikipedia to follow more links there if necessary to get to this point.

I'll try it myself now and see what I see. I may get back in an Edit. I'm sure others will help too.

EDIT: Okay, I checked, and instead of writing 'sentence structure' (too much info) just write 'you and me or you and I ?' Then click on the very first one at the top of the list, or you'll get caught in some fiction thing. That top one (which mentions BBC in the title, I recall that) had a very plain and good lay out of how it works.

In fact I was glad to read it, because it's much like I wrote. ;-} !!

Answer 3

It depends how you would use it in a sentence. Place the phrase in the sentence take out the you, and that will tell you your answer.

Answer 4

The proper way is You and I. For a sentence it would be:

He invited you and myself!
OR
No one loves each other as much as you and I.

Hope I am of some help!

Answer 5

depends. for example, you would say " that's not a good look for you and me". but you would say " why don't you and i go get some ice cream?" here's how you can tell which is proper; remove the other person from the sentence. so you wouldn't say " that's not a good look for i" and you wouldn't say " why don't me go get some ice cream?" see?

Answer 6

Depends how it is used:
If it is the subject of the sentence, use "you and I"
If it is the object, use "you and me"

Answer 7

It depends on the context.

Sentence examples:
.. You and I went to the concert.
.. He gave it to you and me.

See the difference?

Also, in expressions like "you and I" or " you and me" the "you" always comes first.

Answer 8

Usually, you refer to the other person before yourself, so I think it's 'you and I'

Answer 9

Always put yourself last, for one thing.

Now, both of those are acceptable, but in specific different contexts. Think of how you would say "___ want to go to the movie." I or me? You wouldn't say "Me want to go to the movie," so you don't put "Him and me." You would say "I want to go..." so you'd say "He and I want to go..." On the other hand, you wouldn't say "Give it to I," you'd say "Give it to me." So, you wouldn't say "Give it to he and I," you'd say "Give it to him and me."

In all cases, just replace the combination of the two people with just one, he or him, or i or me. Which ones sound right when you just say one of them? Those are the ones you use.

"She likes him," "She likes me." --> "She likes him and me."

"He likes her," "I like her." --> "He and I like her."

Answer 10

It depends on the sentence.
For example,
'You and I are friends.'
'He invited you and me.' or 'He invited me and you.'
