How do you say I and Me properly? She was with john and I?me?

Question

Can you give me some examples in sentences how to use I and Me properly in sentences?

Answer 1

There's an easy way to tell- take out the other person and see if the sentence sounds correct.

For example: "Me and Johnny went to the store." is incorrect, because without 'Johnny', it becomes "Me went to the store.", which we know is wrong. Hence the correct version is 'Johnny and I went to the store.". (Don't ask me why you have to switch it around that way, it just sounds better than "I and Johnny went to the store.").

Alternatively, in the sentence "John took Trisha and me to the mall.", using 'me' is correct because if you took 'Trisha' out, you'd get "John took me to the mall.", versus the incorrect "John took I to the mall." if you tried "John took Trisha and I to the mall.".

There's a complex rationale behind it about the subjects and objects of sentences and all that, but I find this is the best way to explain it- simple and to the point, with a way to test it.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Yes I can. John and I went to the store. This is correct because you can say I went to the store. You would not say John and me went to the store because you would not say me went to the store.
However, you would say John went to the store with me. You would not say John went to the store with I. This is the most simple way to understand the usage of I and Me properly. I hope that this helps. Good luck!

Answer 3

It depends if it is in subject form or object. I mean, here are two examples of how you would use each:

"John and I went to the party" (in this case, "John and I" is the subject because it is doing the action).

"They sent an invitation to John and me" (here, "John and me" is the object which is receiving the action).

Use "I" for the subject and "me" for the object.

Answer 4

Well, let's look at the following example:

John and I went to the mall.

Take away the first subject 'John' and the conjunction 'and'. Now read the sentence and see if it makes sense.

I went to the mall.

If it does, then it's used correctly.

If you wrote "John and me went to the mall" and take away "John and", you get

Me went to the mall.

which doesn't make sense.

So, the correct sentence would be "John and I went to the mall."

Answer 5

''me'' is a direct object of a sentence.

direct object = what the verb is acting upon- to/for_____.

''i'' (aside from being an awesome taproot song ;-) ) is a personal pronoun. you use ''i'' when you are not describing something that's happening to or for the first person.

''Sally and I went to the store.'' --you can tell that ''i'' should be used if you take out the other subject of the sentence and it still sounds right -- ''I went to the store.''

''She slapped me.'' -- ''me'' is a direct object.
''Do you like me?'' -- again, something is happening to the first person pronoun, necessitating the use of ''me'' instead of ''i.''

Answer 6

I am going to the shops.
I will not be long
John and I are going to the pub.
John and I will be out all night
If you wish to speak correctly then use
I if you are talking about yourself.
If you are with some one you mention them first and yourself last The only time you use me to mention yourself is when you are asking a question of someone.
Is it me you were looking for?
is it me to pay for the drinks?
To make it easy
I is a statement.
Me is a question.
Hope this helps.

Answer 7

I was taught in Latin that I is only used when it is the subject of a sentence (nominative case). Me is used when it is the object of the sentence (accusative case), when it follows the word of (genitive case) to or for (dative case) or by, with or from (ablative case)

Answer 8

Generally, you can take the other word away and see if it makes sense alone. John and me are going home. Me am going home is wrong, but in John and I, I am going home...makes sense.

Answer 9

separate the compound "john and I?me?"

1. She was with John.
2. She was with I.
3. She was with me.

Now, which of those do you think would be correct?

Would you say "She was with I"? Hopefully you wouldn't.

Correct ones:

She was with John
She was with me.

She was with John and me.

Answer 10

I is used as a subject and with linking verbs.
I went to the movie with Hannah.
It was I who called you earlier.

Me is used as an object of a verb or preposition.

Did you ask me a question?
He went shopping with Tom and me.
