Best Answer

That would be incorrect use of "standard" English grammar. The irregular verb "to be" is conjugated thus:-

I am

You are

He is

She is

We are

They are

Thus to say "you is" in a formal situation would indicate to the people hearing you that you either had a poor command of "standard" English or that you had been brought up in a particular ethnic community where this form was common.

That said the use of "you is" in that particular community is, to me and possibly others, warm, charming and endearing. Language evolves and grammar changes there are no absolute rules, try and adapt what you say and how you say it to get the desired response in/from your target audience.

Yes! "She is with me and John." You can test it out by using the sentence with just one of the persons at a time. For instance, "She is with me." is correct. Also, "She is with John." is correct. Therefore "She is with me and John" is also correct. (However it might sound more natural to say "She is with John and me")
