Phil

Let's look at how to avoid confusion between me and I.

Now, the main difference is simple.

Use I when you are the subject of a clause.
And use me when you are the object

Now, that's easy enough – but here is where it starts to get more complicated.

If you've got two people, say Sam and me, or should that be Sam and I?

Well, this question is most important in formal language – writing rather than speaking.

If you're using formal language, you need to think whether you are the subject or the object.

Sam and I are making a video.
Tom and I are getting coffee.

If you've got a problem, talk to Sam or me.
You're going to be working with me and Tom.

An easy way to check is to take the other person out (sorry Sam).
Now it should be easy to see I should say I'm making a video, or
if you've got a problem, talk to me.

So, just remember that you and I are subjects, while the objects are me and you.

'You and me' or 'you and I'

You use I when you are the subject of a clause.

  • I went to Kenya last year.

You use me when you are the object

  • Are you talking to me?

If you've got two people, it can be more complicated.

This is most important in formal language – writing rather than speaking.

If you're using formal language, you need to think whether you are the subject or the object.

  • Rob and I are making coffee.
  • Tom and I are going to work.
  • Do you want to help me and Sam?
  • Eric told me and Roy.
