Hi, could someone please help me determine which of the following phrases is grammatically correct?

- "Isaac's and my team"
Thank you!

Isaac’s and my team because for the first two you would have to say Isaac and his team
Remeber it this way
Use the names properly by themselvers and that’s how you would use them together
Isaac’s team—-correct
My team—-correct
You wouldn’t say…
Isaac team or I’s team
Isaacs’s and my team is correct. There is a trick to remember when to use I and when to use me/my. Take away the other person’s name and see what makes sense. For example, My team or I team? My team makes more sense.
Another example:
He and I walked to the bakery.
vs.
He and me walked to the bakery.
If you take away he, I would make more sense. You wouldn’t say me walked to the bakery. Hope that helps you.

The third option.
There’s no such word contraction as I’s.
Also, since Isaac is in the possesive tense so must you (as my).
