Are you here to look for the answer to whether you use ‘I’ or ‘me’ or ‘myself’ with the name of the person in a sentence. For example, ‘John and I‘ or ‘John and me‘ or John and myself’. In this article, we will clear your doubt.
and I or and me or and myself – Which one is correct?
‘and I‘ is correct while ‘and me‘ & ‘and myself‘ are incorrect. It is because when a noun and a pronoun are separated by the conjunction ‘and‘ and used together as a subject of a sentence then the pronoun used is in the nominative case (example is ‘I’).
For example
- Sally and I are going to the station. (Correct)
- Sally and me are going to the station. (Incorrect)
- Sally and myself are going to the station. (Incorrect)
If a noun and a pronoun are joined with the conjunction ‘and‘ and act as the object of a sentence then the pronoun used will be in the objective form. In this situation, ‘and me‘ is correct while ‘and I‘ & ‘and myself‘ is incorrect.
For example
- He is taking Sally and me to the station. (Correct)
- He is taking Sally and I to the station. (Incorrect)
- He is taking Sally and myself to the station. (Incorrect)
