Is the sentence this guy and john thinks he is appropriate grammatically correct?

No, the sentence "This guy and John thinks he is" is not grammatically correct.

Here's why:

* Subject-verb agreement: The sentence has two subjects, "this guy" and "John," but only one verb, "thinks." The verb should agree with the closest subject, which is "John." Therefore, it should be "thinks."

* Missing connector: The sentence needs a conjunction to connect the two subjects. It should be "This guy and John thinks he is..."

Here are some grammatically correct ways to rephrase the sentence:

* This guy and John think he is...

* This guy thinks he is... and John thinks he is...

* Both this guy and John think he is...
