Did her and him have a disagreement today a correct sentence?
No, it is not a correct sentence. The pronouns 'her' and 'him' are objective pronouns, used for the object of a verb or a preposition. Your sentence has her and him as the subject of the verb 'have'. The corresponding subject pronouns are 'she' and 'he'. Corrected sentence: Did she and he have a disagreement today? However, when using the names of the people for a compound subject, both names are used, for example 'Jane and John". But when pronouns are used, the two people are usually referred to in the plural as 'they'. Better sentence: Did they have a disagreement today?
