personal pronoun
I want to know that if the order of the personal pronouns has a rule.
I learned that in the singular form we should say "you, he/she and I", and in the plural form we should say "we, you and they."Then, how about a sentence containing both forms?
For example, which is correct in the following sentences?
#1 We and he are in the same room.
#2 He and we are in the same room.

They are both unnatural. Why not write, "We are in the same room as him/he is"?

Re: personal pronoun
Thanks for answering the question. So, in American English, people seldom put the plural personal pronouns and the singular ones in one sentence in the way I mentioned, right?

Re: personal pronoun
Bhai did not say that. He said that 'we and he' and 'he and we' sounded unnatural. 'You (plural) and I' is fine.
