Are you and she friend? Or are you and her friends ? Please which is correct

[steveyen]

I need to find out the correct usage of the phrases :

Are you and she friends? Or
Are you and her friends ?

Someone asked me this. I am a bit inclined to go for the second phrase. Would really appreciate anyone who could help clarify these two phrases. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

As Piscean said, you'll certainly hear the second (quite a lot in BrE). Remember that we don't put a space before a question mark or a colon.

You can avoid the problem (if it is one) with "Are you two friends?"

 

[emsr2d2]

Or "Are you friends with her?" or "Are you her friend?/Is she your friend?"

Perhaps it would be better to say:

Are you both friends?

or

Are you friends with her?

 

[Rover_KE]

Are you both friends?

I see no reason to include 'both'.

 

[Raymott]

Are you both friends?

Maybe, though it's unlikely only one of them is.

Are you and she friends? Or
Are you and her friends ?

NOT A TEACHER

Hello, Steveyen:

My teachers taught me that it is easier to analyze a question if one puts the words in regular order (subject + verb).

Now ask yourself which one is correct (based on the rules that you learned at school):

1. You and she are friends. (For the question, move the verb to the front of the sentence.)

2. You and her are friends.
