Hi Umaa Here are a few additional comments: Let you and I try what we can do. This sentence sounds very awkward. Why not just begin with "Let's" (i.e. "let us")? I would also change the word "try" to something else: - Let's see what we can do. Between you and I, I do not believe him. This is wrong grammatically, but often heard in informal English. To make it grammatically correct, you need an object pronoun after the preposition: - Between you and me , I do not believe him.
