Specification on Plural Pronouns
This has been on my mind for awhile now:
If one must specify the agents of a pronoun (i.e. "Maddie and I" rather than "us"), could someone please explain what exactly are the rules for possession? For example: "Maddie and I's [room]", "Maddie and her [room]", "Maddie and their [room]", but these all read horribly to me. Would one just write out, for example, "the room of Maddie and I"? Or is there another way to do so with a possessive pronoun? Thank you
