"I" vs. "Me"
When do you use "I" and when do you use "me"?
It is a common occurrence to hear the incorrect usage of "I" and "me". This is one of the simplest grammar corrections.
"I" is a pronoun that must be the subject of a verb. "Me" is a pronoun that must be the object of the verb. The easiest way to decipher the two is to remove the other noun from the sentence and see if it still makes sense.
