Which is the correct form of English ? a) He and I or b) He and me ? For example if I had to write beneath a.?

Question

..picture..."Jenny and I" or will it be "Jenny and me" ?? Please let me know !

Answer 1

I is used as a subject and Me is used as a direct object and indirect object.

Jenny and I ran to the mall. The mall looked crowded to Jenny and me.

Another way to figure it out is to remove Jenny. If the sentence still sounds gramatically correct, you picked the right pronoun.

Answer 2

When captioning a photo, you are not really writing a complete sentence, so using the subjective form of the pronoun is awkward. Under a photo, I would just write "Jenny and Me", with the implication that the sentence is really " Jenny and me."

Some have argued that the implied sentence is " Jenny and I", so the subjective should be used. But in vernacular English, one rarely says "This is I" even though it is grammatically correct. Standard usage has moved toward "This is me". This agrees with French grammar which introduced an "independent" case to handle such usage. In English, this is a case of proscriptive grammar (what the rules say) vs. descriptive grammar (what people actually do).

Go with "Jenny and me".

Answer 3

It depends on the rest of the sentence. Take out the other person, in this case "jenny", and use the remainder of the sentence left. Does it make sense? Example:
1.Jenny and me went to the store.
Take out jenny.
Me went to the store.
So it would be "i". Because
I went to the store.

2. Jared and i went rollerblading.
Take out Jared
I went rollerblading.
Yes that makes sense.


I hope i helped you.

Answer 4

Correct - "he and I" or "him and me".

As Jenny doesn't alter when an object, both "Jenny and I" and "Jenny and me" can be correct depending on the context.

For the title of a picture, I think "Jenny and me" is correct. If it was just you, would you put "I" or "me" ?

Answer 5

It would be Answer A. Jenny and I.... I'm not sure exactly why but I know that its the correct form.

Answer 6

It depends on the sentence that you are labeling the picture with.

This is a picture of Jenny and me at the fair.

Jenny and I are at the fair.

OR:

You could ID it for anyone who is reading it and say:

Jenny and Sam

Answer 7

Why don't you call Jenny and me.
- remove Jenny
Why don't you call me.

Give it to Jenny and me, we could use it.
- remove Jenny
Give it to me, I could use it.

So "me" is right.

BUT:

Why don't Jenny and I call you more often?
- remove Jenny
Why don't I call you more often?

so "I" is correct

You use "and I" where "I" would be correct, and you use "and me" where "me" would be correct, when used on their own.

NOTE
Many English natives have had it drummed into them that "and I" is the correct form, and "and me" is bad. WRONG. It is only bad if used in the wrong place. "Jenny and me are going bowling". WRONG. But there are multiple places where it would be correct to use, and wrong to use "and I".

Answer 8

the way to figure this out is to say it singularly, for instance if you were trying to say "this is Jenny and I" just say "this is I" and if that sounds right then it's "I", if not, then it's "me"

in this particular case the correct form is "Jenny and me"

Answer 9

Take out "Jenny and" and read the sentence the way it'd make sense.

Ex. (Jenny and) I like pie. Not: (Jenny and) me like pie.

Answer 10

it would be Jenny and I because you talking in the third person point of view
