Since I’ve been seeing this mistake all over the place lately, not just online, but when people speak as well, I’m going to share a tip on how I remember when to use I vs. Me in a sentence.<\/p>\n
Just remove the other person from the sentence and see if it still makes sense. That’s it. <\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
“Joe and I went to the store” becomes “I went to the store.”<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe he gave Joe and me such a good discount” becomes “I can’t believe he gave me such a good discount.” It wouldn’t make sense to use I in that sentence because then you’d be saying “I can’t believe he gave I such a good discount.”<\/p>\n
Try it next time you’re forming a sentence and let me know if it works for you. I did not research this method online because I wanted to hear opinions on it first, so feel free to comment.<\/p>\n
Also, if someone wants to offer tips on the proper way to use punctuation in conjunction with quotation marks, please do, because I probably used them incorrectly in this post. It has always been one of my weak points grammatically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
