I saw "me and him" on a thread the other day. And the guy was lecturing me.

Kelsey and I went to the store. You did say it was a Grammar test, didn’t you?

That would be "GrammEr," r2.

They are all wrong unless you asked the person their preferred pronouns first.

It's a trick question. The correct answer is BLANK.

OP, in case you’re genuinely struggling with the correct answer and/or why, think of it this way:
You would say,
He went to the store.
I went to the store.
Hence, he and I went to the store.

He and I. I was using "The King and I" as reference.

But, r8, there are circumstances where the King and me or me and the king are appropriate.

Technically, I think that musical should have been called "The King and Me".

You, r11? The king never liked you.

But not in OP's "BLANK went to the store" example.

None of them are correct.
It should be "Zi and Xe" went to the store.
How dare you marginalize people by not including non-binary options.
Rather, none of zirm are correct.

It's a case of subject pronouns vs object pronouns. Gender doesn't come into it at all.
He presented hole. I presented hole. He and I presented hole. He and I are subject pronouns.
The porn star fucked him. The porn star fucked me. The porn star fucked him and me. Him and me are object pronouns.
The dildo was for him and me. He and I used it.
Got it?

Actually, “I and he” is also correct. Just awkward-sounding.

This is 2021, OP. The correct form for millennials and Gen Z would be, " Him and myself went to the store."

It's 2021.
Haven't you heard? Gender ALWAYS comes into it all the time.
And, don't you forget it.

Both "He and I" and "I and he" are correct.
