Bob and I; Bob and me; Bob's and mine

Question

Which of the following is grammatically correct :

a) this is our first visit, Bob and I, to see the tigers at the zoo;

b) this is our first visit, Bob and me, to see the tigers at the zoo;

c) this is our first visit, Bob's and mine, to see the tigers at the zoo.

I think c) is correct as the " Bob's and mine" is relating to "our first visit' and the possessive has to be used.

Am I correct?

Regards

AnonymousYour punctuation is very odd. What you wrote is not one long sentence.

Which of the following is grammatically correct?

a) This is our first visit, Bob and I, to see the tigers at the zoo.

b) This is our first visit, Bob and me, to see the tigers at the zoo.

c) This is our first visit, Bob's and mine, to see the tigers at the zoo.

I think c) is correct as the "Bob's and mine" is relating to "our first visit' and the possessive has to be used. Am I correct? I too would use c).

'first time' sounds better to me, because it doesn't sound like it's your first visit to the zoo.

Bob and I; Bob and me; Bob's and mine
