Is it right to say Is Mary not happy or Is not Mary happy?

The sentence "Is Mary not Happy" is correct grammatically as a question. It defines Mary as the subject and not happy as the object. In the other sentence, though grammatically correct, it could be confusing. Not Mary could be construed as all people but Mary. I would use the first sentence, as it is clearest.


Which is correct mary and you or mary and me?

It depends on what you are talking about. So let's do an example! Let's pretend we are talking about going to the beach. Mary is not here, so I am talking to you about going to the beach. If I am talking about YOU and Mary going to the beach, I would say, "You and Mary are going to the beach." If I am talking bout myself and Mary going to the beach, I would say, "Mary and I are going to the beach." If I am asking you to go the beach with Mary and me, I would say, "Would you like to go to the beach with Mary and me? A trick is to take out the other person's name (in this case, Mary) and see if it would make sense.

Is it - send your response to Mary and I or to Mary and me?

"Send your response to Mary and me" is correct.It is always incorrect to say "to Mary and I" in any context.The easiest way to keep track is to substitute "we" or "us" for "Mary and I/me." "Mary and I" is equivalent to "we"; "Mary and me" is equivalent to "us."We went to the store ⇒ Mary and I went to the store.Send it to us ⇒ Send it to Mary and me.That will guide you naturally to the correct selection, except in the case of predicate nominatives. For example, "It is we" is grammatically correct, so you would substitute "It is Mary and I," but most people think either of those sounds odd.

Is it correct grammar to say 'I and the kids are going to the game'?

No, it is incorrect. The correct way to phrase that sentence is this:"Bob and I are going to the game."A simple way to figure it out for yorself is to do this:Ask, if you were going to the game alone, how would you say it?You would say "I am going to the game."You wouldn't say "Me is going to the game." right?So add the name "Bob" into the correct sentence, and you come out with"Bob and I .... are going to the game.(IS changes to ARE if you have more than one person going to the park.)Example 2:Which is correct? "Give the book to Mary or I""Give the book to Mary or ME"So, remove "Mary", and you have left"Give the book to Mary or I""Give the book to Mary or ME"(The correct one is "Mary and ME".)Example 3:"Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or me?"Remove Henry and Laura, and ask which is correct?"Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or I?""Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or me?"Answer the question out loud: "Am I responsible? or "Is ME responsible?""I" is correct here, so the example "me" is incorrect.The sentence should correctly read: "Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or I?"Correction:In example 3, actually ME is correct, not I. Like you said, you remove theother nouns or pronouns and say the sentence with possessive meaning.Correct: Who is responsible for the mistake, me?Incorrect: Who is responsible for the mistake, I?If you were to rephrase it like you did, "Am I responsible?"Then yes, I would be proper, not me.
