This document provides instruction on using the pronouns "I" and "me" correctly. It explains that "I" should be used as the subject of a sentence, while "me" should be used as the object. When combining with another person's name using "and", perform the "and trick" - cover up the "and" and the other name, and use whichever of "I" or "me" makes the sentence sound correct. Several examples are provided demonstrating the correct usage.
5. If the pronoun appears
in the subject of a
sentence, use I.
• I was late for school.

6. If the pronoun appears
in the predicate part of
the sentence, use me.

7. Using I and Me With
Another Name
Sometimes we combine the
pronouns I and me with another
person.
• Betsy and I like to read.
• The TV was too loud for Rob
and me.
8. When using I and me
with another person,
always put other
person’s name first.
32. Remember the And
Test:
• When using I or me and another
person’s name, cover the word
“and” the other person’s name
to find which pronoun would be
used.
