Which is correct my mother and I or my mother?
Lapsed Moderator. It is correct, and entirely normal in many contexts to use the first. The second form breaks a basic rule of traditional grammar in that it uses the object pronoun “me” as part of the subject “Me and my mother”.
Which is correct my family and I or I and my family?
“My family and I” is correct. “My family and I” is used as the subject of a sentence (i.e., the entity doing the action). The correct way to use “me and my family” as the object of a sentence (i.e., as the entity receiving the action) is to reverse the “me” and “my family” so that “me” is put last.
Should I say my wife and I or my wife and me?
The rule is that you use ‘I’ if it forms part of the subject of the verb, but ‘me’ if it’s the object or predicate. Thus it should be ‘Please join my wife and me’. But it is correct to say: ‘My wife and I are going to the theatre tonight’.
Which is correct me and my sister or I and my sister?
If the phrase “my sister and I” is the subject of a sentence, it is correct. Example: “My sister and I went to the store.” The phrase “me and my sister” is incorrect. If it is the object of a sentence, the correct wording should be “my sister and me.” Example: “My mother gave my sister and me a present.”
What is the grammar rule for me and I?
Both words are pronouns, but I is a subject pronoun while me is an object pronoun. So, in the sentence, “She and I went to the store,” the correct word to use would be I rather than me. “He put suntan lotion on him and me” would be correct because him and me are objects.
When to use my family and I vs me and my family?
My family and I went on vacation last month. You should say: Friends from Germany visited me and my family in England last week. As a general rule, use “I” if it is part of the subject of the sentence and “me” if it is part of the object of the sentence.
Can I say myself and my family?
“Me and my family” is incorrect. “My family and I” is correct. “My family and I” is used as the subject of a sentence (i.e., the entity doing the action).
What is proper grammar for using I and me?
What is the proper way to use I and me?
Use the pronoun “I” when the person speaking is doing the action, either alone or with someone else. Use the pronoun “me” when the person speaking is receiving the action of the verb in some way, either directly or indirectly.
When to use my sister and I vs me and my sister?
The relevant difference between the phrases is that the linking verb redefines the subject “people” as “my sister and I” (all nominative case), whereas the transitive verb connects the subject “He” to the object “me and my sister.”
Are my siblings and I correct?
Depending on whether you are part of the subject of the sentence or an object, “my siblings and I” or “my siblings and me” would be acceptable and understandable. For example, as a sentence’s subject, you might say: Yesterday my siblings and I played a game.
