Grammar
A query on sequences
Hi Please consider the following sentences
Sentence 1 : I and John went to the airport.
Sentence 2 : John and I went to the airport.
I have been told that the first sentence is redundant and/or grammatically incorrect on the basis of the sequence of the words "I" and "John". Apparently, the first person "i" should follow the third person " John" and not vice-versa.
Please comment on the validity of both sentences. Thanks! Naren

They are both valid; neither contains any redundancy or grammatical error. #2 is merely more polite and therefore generally accepted.
