is it correct to say"my mother and i are going to be home"?

Answer 1

I think it sounds better if you say...

Mother and I will be at home (this morning, this evening, all day). That's just what I think!

Answer 2

If you mean "My mother and I will be at home", that would be the way to say it.

Deference is all very well but you can give yourself a capital 'I'.

As you will see from the answers here people will misinterpret your statement as meaning you are actively going home, as opposed to planning to be there at some future point. The purpose of grammar is to remove ambiguities like this.

Incidentally, the check as to whether it is 'I' or 'me' is to take the other person out of the sentence, and it will be immediately apparent that the correct form will be 'I am going to be home'. Us would't want to get it wrong, would us?.

Answer 3

Yes it is correct because you could still take your mother out of the sentence and say I am going home. On some occasions you would use my mother and me. This would be in a sentence like the theatre gave free tickets to my mother and me, in this case if you took your mother out of the sentence it would read 'the theatre gave free tickets to me'.

Answer 4

You are making two statements in one.
1. My Mother will be home.
2. I will be home.
So it is correct to say My Mother and I.

Answer 5

Yes. Both subjects are nominative, so "I" is correct. Rmenber that English is a rare example of where the first person nominatve is written with a capital letter.

Answer 6

Your sentence is grammatically correct. However, the majority of British-English native speakers would find it pedantic. They would probably say 'My mother and me.' English is a living language and subject to change. It becomes a question of usage.

Answer 7

yes this is the correct format when using proper English. incorrect would be phrased:
"me and my mother are going to be home"

Answer 8

How about "My mother and I are going home."

This sounds better to me.

Answer 9

It will sound better-My mother and I will be home. break a sentence up if you question it. Example-my mother will be home. I will be home.

Answer 10

Yes.
