Do I use “me” or “I” in a compound subject?
I want to know the correct form:
He and I in heaven will
go
there or He and me will go there
Who is the correct person?
Did anyone learn this book? If yes then why?
I can’t remember who went to see me and why he went with George. I really have to ‘get out’. Great! “Me and George” – A Compound Subject.
How can I get into the show again (I started with the whole show)? What are the benefits of
a simple subject – a simple subject?
What are some examples
of English word order in English?
What precedes the verb in a sentence is the subject, so subject pronouns will be expected and mistakes will probably be interpreted as that.
John and Me will go to the store
This is very common, but wrong (don’t use this in formal speech or an educated context). “Me” is understood to be not as an object pronoun purely based on the fact that it’s the first word in the sentence where the reader/listener expects the subject of the verb It also helps that object expressions in English are usually preceded by a preposition, such as “to” or “by” – since this isn’t here, it’s another cue that we mean “me” as “I”
John and me will go to the store
You may hear this too.
Who will go to the store (he and
me)? This is uncommon very rarely, at least in my experience, probably not because of any grammatical rule, but the fact that “he and me” rhyming sounds jarring. If you aren’t listening too closely, you might think the speaker is saying “he and his” or “me and me”, which doesn’t make sense, and it may make the listener question if she heard that right.
This is a good thing, but you’ll hear
this wrong thing quite a bit.
Who is that good in English? They feel it sincerely, say something like “Here I
go to the store. ”
Is thinking a little right when there is no sound?
But again, because of English’s sensitivity to word order, most people will know what you mean if you say any of the above.
