When we mention ourselves and another person in a sentence, we are told to put the other person first. For example, we might be reminded to say, “My brother and I went to the White House.” Saying “I and my brother went to the White House” is grammatically correct but would sound impolite, or rude.
Is it grammatically correct to say me and my sister?
It is considered more polite to put the other person first, my sister and me, but either is possible. By the way, the ‘and me’ is grammatically correct in this context. You wouldn’t say ‘My mother used to take I to the cinema’ and it’s the same even when your sister is involved!
Is my sister plural or singular?
The plural form of sister is sisters.
Which is correct Bob and I or Bob and me?
The rule here is very simple: the correct word is the one you’d use if there were no “Bob” involved — so “I went to the store” becomes “Bob and I went to the store,” and “She kissed me” becomes “She kissed Bob and me.”

When do you Say ” It is me, him, and they “?
The general rule is that it’s I (he, she, they) when used as a subject and me (him, her, them) when used as an object.
