The two of us

Como se dice

"both of us" "Los dos de nosotros" "nosotors dos"

"the four of us" "nosotros cuartro"

"they paid for the 4 of us to go" "pagaron para nosotros 4 ir" "Pagagron para que nosotros 4 pudieramos ir"

"they paid for the 4 of us to go" "pagaron para nosotros 4 ir" "Pagaron para que nosotros 4 pudieramos ir"

What a native would say: Pagaron para que fuéramos/fuésemos los cuatro.

A pleasure.

I would advise to write in your native language first what you want to say. That will put a frame on what and how you are thinking.

both of us = ambos or nosotros dos (us two)

They paid for the 4 for us to go = (ellos) pagaron para que nosotros 4 fuéramos

pagaron para que nosotros 4 pudíeramos ir = they paid for the 4 of us could go

See?
