Compound Possessive adjectives with pronoun

Posted by Carolyn Rice on February 16, 2021 in English HELP

If Brad and I share one car, which is correct?

Brad and my car is in the garage. OR

Brad’s and my car is in the garage.

I know "Brad and Sally's car is in the garage" is correct -- when they share one car. But not sure when the second part of the compound possessive is a pronoun.

If Brad and I each have a different car — two cars, is the following correct?

"Brad’s and my cars are in the garage." -

Finally, I got it.

Correct is: Brad's an MY car is in the garage.

Okay, as far as i know...

Brad's and my car is in the garage is correct and

Brad's and my car are in the garage is wrong, it is because in this sentence you do not have something together.
