RULE XXXIII.
Conjunctions connect nouns and pronouns in the same case; as, "The
master taught _her_ and _me_ to write;" "_He_ and _she_ are associates."
FALSE SYNTAX.
My brother and him are grammarians.
You and me enjoy great privileges.
Him and I went to the city in company; but John and him returned
without me.
Between you and I there is a great disparity of years.

RULE XXXIV.
Conjunctions generally connect verbs of like moods and tenses; as, "If
thou sincerely _desire, and_ earnestly _pursue_ virtue, she _will_
assuredly _be found_ by thee, _and prove_ a rich reward."
NOTE 1. When different moods and tenses are connected by
conjunctions, the nominative must be repeated; as, "He _may return_,
but _he will_ not _tarry_."
2. Conjunctions implying contingency or doubt, require the
subjunctive mood after them; as, "_If_ he _study_, he will improve."
See pages 135, 145, and 155.
3. The conjunctions _if_, _though_, _unless_, _except_, _whether_,
and _lest_, generally require the subjunctive mood after them.
