Please help my two questions.

Please Emotion: crying :

1. By far,I couldn't sure that 'both'must be plural,for example:

'Both you and I is a student.'
'Both you and I is student.'
'Both you and I am a student.'
'Both you and I are students.'
'Both you and me are stduents.'

If both of the above five are all wrong or parts of them are wrong,please tell me.

2. How to pronounce 'the'?


Thanks a lot!

I would say both you and I are students is the correct one. However, I would also say both you and me are students sounds also right.

"Both you and I are students" is the correct one. "Both" always implies two persons, actions or things:

Paul and John are (both) enginners.
She teaches both Math and Physics.
I was both surprised and disappointed.

Some extra tips:

So far = up to the present moment
By far = by a considerable margin

Hope this helps!
