I
singular
| subject | object | possessive adjective | possessive pronoun | reflexive pronoun |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | me | my | mine | myself |
These pronouns are used for oneself.
subject = I

object = me

|
possessive adjective = my

my website

When a preposition comes before a pronoun, use the objective form of the word: me.
- This is between you and me. (not “you and I”)
- A bird landed on me.
- Do you want to go with me?
- He threw the ball at me.
It’s also okay to use “me” when “I” is the grammatically correct choice:
- A: Who is it?
- B: It’s me.
The grammatically correct thing to say in the example above is “It’s I,” but no one says that.
