Grammar: How to choose between “I “and “Me”?

well if you take a sentence like “The children and I are coming with you….just take away the word children and see if i or me makes since….for example” I am coming with you makes more since them me am coming with you

Hope that helped

Both “I” and “me” are pronouns. Never start a sentence with “me”. It has to do with cases of pronouns: nominative case (usually used for subject), objective case (used with object of prepositional phrase, etc.), and possessive case (shows ownership). In your sample sentence: The children and I are coming with you. Both “children and I” are used as compound subjects (pronoun “I” is in the nominative case). The children came with me. “Me” is objective case pronoun because it’s used as the object of the prepositional phrase “with me.” It would be incorrect to say: The children came with I. You can’t end a sentence with the pronoun “I.” Hope this helps. I believe you can also find additional resources for pronouns on the internet. Typing-in pronouns and/or cases of pronouns or grammar into the web search will produce grammar practice in pronouns, which may also clarify the use of “I” and “me.”

If you’ve been speaking English all your life, leave I for the lone subject.

I am coming with you.

Me am coming with you.

“I” sounds much better than “Me” in this case. So you have

The children and I are coming with you.

If it’s used at the end, use the same trick.

My mom is going to meet my brother and me at the airport.

My mom is going to meet I at the airport.

My mom is going to meet me at the airport.

Make sense now?

You would not say “me are coming with you” You just remove the other people in the sentence temporarily. In your example, ” I (am) coming with you.” is what you would say, so that is the correct choice. The children and I are coming with you.

The children and I are coming with you.

Remove the part about anyone besides you.

“I am coming with you”

or

“Me am coming with you”

Then just add the other people back in.

Really all its all where u put I or me in the sentence if its in the 2nd half its usally me if its in the first half its usually I, if it dont sound quite right when doing that use the other one

Break the sentence into two examples…

Do you say I am going to school or me is going to school? You say I am going to school.

If you & someone else is going to school you still use I & name the other person first (polite & correct).

I am going to school…

Betty is going to school…

Betty & I are going to school

( You don’t say me going to school or me & Betty are going to school…I am going; Betty & I are going)

Now, do you say give the ball to I or give the ball to me…

Give the ball to me…

Give the ball to Joe… Thus:

Give the ball to Joe & me.

Do you say for me or for I (lots of times used incorrectly)

Do it for me (not for I)…

Do it for him…Thus

Do it for him & me…

Hope this helps & that I have not confused you.

By the way, your sentence in your question is absolutely perfect…seems like you understand…

you’d know when to use which…

…if the sentence makes sense.

using the pronoun “me”:

(Between you and me, I think you need to cool off.)

using the pronoun “I”:

(If I were you, I’d search the internet.)

when (you) are the one who do the action use (I):

I love lisa

when (you) are the one whom the action done on you use (me):

lisa loves me
