Grammar
one's and one's
1) Tom and I were born in the same country.
2) Tom and I are from the same country.
3) The home country of Tom and me is beautiful.
4) Tom's and my home country is beautiful.
5) Tom and my home country is beautiful.
I know '5' is not grammatically correct, but if I say this to native speakers, do any of you understand what I mean?
Also which ones sound natural and which ones unnatural?

Masanori TakaokaI know '5' is not grammatically correct, but if I say this to native speakers, do any of you understand what I mean?Not really. It seems to say "Tom is beautiful and my home country is beautiful". It would be clear that you did not have a full mastery of the English lang
