(you and I ) or (you and me) ?
it's a bit confusing in a direct conversation, for a non native speaker, to choose the right combination of words, ordered in a way that might make him/her sound natural, even if they got a high level in English, with good grammar and vocabulary.
so my question is : is there any way, or trick or anything alike that could help choosing the right combination of words that work together and make the speech sound right to the ear ?
I.e :
*high price and tall building ( could we say High building?)
* black n white ( white and black ??)
* left and right or right and left
and there's a long list of such.
Thanks in advance.

Dude... let me see if i can help you.
'You and I' are pronouns - the subjects of the sentence - so you are going to use them with a verb. For example: You and I are going to rent a van and drive across Canada.
'you and me' is NOT ever a subject. Use it like this:
- She gave herpes to you and me.
- That song is about you and me.
- He is going to shoot you and me.
- "It's just you and me, cowboy!"
Does that help? If not, YOU AND I can discuss it further. ; )

Hello Bachir,
I hope you are doing well.
Reading.
The constant repetition of words and patterns in reading helps you learn and remember vocabulary and grammar structures.
I hope it helps.
