PRONOUN CASE
I am troubled over what pronoun case to use when referrring to two people in a single question?
Sentence #1 for example,can it be use to refer to two people simultaneously?
1. How was your day at school today? or sentences #2
2. How was school for the two of you today?
How was your day at school for you and Tom?
How was your day at school, Lisa and Tom?
Sentence #1 for example,can it be use to refer to two people simultaneously?
1. How was your day at school today? or sentences #2
2. How was school for the two of you today?
How was your day at school for you and Tom?
How was your day at school, Lisa and Tom?

Hi Archi
If you are talking directly to Tom and Lisa, you could also say something like this:
Hi, you two. How was school today?

Hi,
You can also just look at both people and say simply 'How was your day at school?' They won't usually have any trouble understanding that you are talking to both of them.
