Is Between your sister and yourself correct grammar?

No, "Between your sister and yourself" is not grammatically correct.

Here's why:

* "Between" is used for two or more items. It suggests a separation or distinction.

* "Yourself" is a reflexive pronoun. It refers back to the subject of the sentence.

In this case, you are referring to two people: your sister and yourself. You would need to use the reciprocal pronoun "each other" to indicate the relationship between them.

Correct usage:

* Between your sister and *each other*

* Between your sister and *you*

Example:

"There was a lot of tension *between your sister and you*."
