Hi
In my opinion you should say : you and her, it sounds better.
Bye

It �s better to reply, �Both of you (will read the passage) � if there are two students involved. �You and her � is incorrect as �her � is an object pronoun, and the response requires a subject pronoun. |

It would be: you and her,
or
you will, and she will
or as ballycaslte said:
both of you.
hope that helps.

QUESTION I have a question for you: Which is correct? "All the candidates for student office, including you and her, have filed the necessary papers with the university."
Or is it "you and she." Is "including" acting like an appositive or is it a like a verb, thus turning "you" and "her" into direct objects?�
Thank you.�

GRAMMAR �S RESPONSE
A participial phrase includes the participle and its various complements or modifiers. For instance, in "Leading us down the pathway, Joe probed the darkness with his torch," the object of the participle, "us," takes the object form. Even though the phrase refers to the subject of the sentence, "the candidates," the pronouns within the phrase are objects of the participle "including," so "you and her" is correct. http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/grammarlogs3/grammarlogs476.htm

Am I wrong or are they different situations?
In my opinion:
Who will read?
You and she (being "her" accepted as colloquial)
Both are acting as pronouns and would be the subject of the sentence7answer.
In the second sentence "including you and her" is the correct form, as you should use the objective form after verbs and prepositions.
