Lori stated Kyle and she went to the store or
Lori stated she and Kyle went to the store
Lori stated she and Kyle went to the store
Top answer
Dear friend, if your question mainly concerns the placing of 'Kyle' and 'she', then it is a conventional matter of politeness to mention the other person first: Lora says: ' Kyle and I went to the store'. In indirect speech, the same order may be preserved. Also mind the form of the verb 'go' in the subordinate clause, be it either went, had been , or were going , depending on the context.
