He and I or Him and I
'He and I' or 'Him and I'? Is one of them the correct choice? Or they are both wrong? Let's find out.
He and I: Subject Pronouns
'He' and 'I' are both subject pronouns, i.e. they can both be only used in the nominative case and as the subject of a verb. Look at the example:
Now, look at these sentences:
In the last 2 sentences, we have a combined subject (or coordinated subject) which is two subject pronouns joined by the coordinating conjunction 'and'.
Is 'Him and I' Correct?
Now, 'him' is NOT a subject pronoun. It is an object pronoun and it can only be used in accusative case. So, you cannot use 'him' in a subject position in a sentence. 'Him and I' is not correct, because one of them is a subject pronoun and the other is an object pronoun.

Bottom Line
You cannot use 'object and subject', only 'subject and subject' or 'object and object.'
