BOYFRIEND AND ME*
You stupid fucking whore bitch.
She may be a dirty whore but you are the stupid fuck?*. The use of "I" in that sentence is the correct singular pronoun.
Both I and me are 1st person singular pronouns, which means that they are used by one person to refer to himself or herself. I is the subject pronoun, used for the one "doing" the verb, as in these examples:
I am studying for a Mandarin test. (I is the subject of am studying.) I can speak Russian, but I can't read it very well. (I is the subject of can speak and can’t read.)
Me is the object pronoun, used as the object (or receiver) of the action of the verb, as in these examples:
My math teacher encouraged me to come for extra help after school. (Me is the object of encouraged.) She asked me to bring my homework. (Me is the object of asked.)
The confusing part
What gets confusing for many people is which form to use when there are two subjects or objects linked with and, as in these examples:
a. Jenny and me/I (?) joined the chess club.
b. Jill took Justin and me/I (?) to the shop.
In sentence a), Jenny and me/I are the subjects of the verb joined. Therefore, the subject pronoun, I, is considered correct. You will certainly hear native speakers say, “Jenny and me,” and it may be acceptable in spoken English, but most traditional grammarians and English teachers will disapprove. Don’t use it in writing.
I don't give a fuck what you're studying, they're teaching you incorrectly. I also don't give a shit about Mandarin, that doesn't apply, here.
You can't even use a question mark properly, why would anyone listen to you?
The use of the word "mandarin" just like "russian" in the grammar example is strictly for the purpose of illustrating proper English you remedial fuckwit nigger.
The first "?" is a typo and an accident. You however, are either knowingly or ignorantly, peddling inaccurate bull shit like some mouthy liberal cunt.
Language is important and preserving proper use of my language is a worthy asperation especially because of the prevalence of overconfident inaccurate faggots like you.
YOU ARE WRONG. Do it right or kill yourself and get the fuck out of the way.
@EAT_MY_ASS_FUCKFACE is right on this one. Granted, her run-on sentences are much worse mistakes, in my opinion.
It's good that you know the difference between nominative and object cases. Most people don't.
However, "one of those was her being an idiot and walking up on my boyfriend and I making out" is incorrect, other than it being part of a massive run-on sentence.
The subject of this is "one," not "my boyfriend and I." The main verbs of the (compound) predicate are "was" and "walking up on." The "walking up on" main verb takes an object, not a nominative. What might be confusing you is the "making out" part. This is a participle, not a main verb.
I hope this helps! ESL isn't an easy journey, but you're making great progress. Keep it up! You'll get there!
Thank you for your input. I am not articulate enough to explain myself in a lot of cases, but I had the best English teacher, & I know quite a bit more than a lot of people (so it seems) when it comes down to it. At the very least in regards to spelling & punctuation.
ROFL! Can we make poal go full grammar nazi please? This is hilarious.
No that's not correct.
What is confusing for you and many other people is which form to use when there are two subjects or objects linked with and, as in these examples:
a. Jenny and me/I (?) joined the chess club.
b. Jill took Justin and me/I (?) to the shop.
In sentence a), Jenny and me/I are the subjects of the verb joined. Therefore, the subject pronoun, I, is considered correct. You will certainly hear native speakers say, “Jenny and me,” and it may be acceptable in spoken English, but traditional English teachers will disapprove. Don’t use it in writing.
The opposite is true for sentence b), which is the original example from above. Justin and me/I are the objects of took. Therefore me is considered correct in written form, although you will hear people say, “Justin and I.” Again, don't use it in writing.
Hint If you’re having trouble deciding which one to use in a particular sentence, here's a hint: Take out the other person, and it should be clearer. You are not likely to be tempted to say, “Me joined the chess club,” or “Jill took I to the shop.”
I hope this helps!
100%.
And I, not and me dummy
"walking up on I"
vs.
"walking up on me"
Which one sounds correct?
That is how you know.
Did you sleep through all of your English classes?
