Sorry for missing out the title for my question :-)

1. I, John along with other team members and I went to the party
2. Me, John along with other team members went to the party. Wrong.
3. Myself, John along with other team members went to the party. Wrong.

When you use the pronoun I in the subject, put it after the other subjects.
Jane, Joe and I liked the movie.

The word me is object case. It is not used as a subject.

Thank you so much, Alphecca,

Could you help me with the following as well?

1. I too have the same doubts or Me too have the same doubt or It can be also said like 1. I also have the same doubt or I have the same doubt as well?

Are they interchangeable and meaning the same?

Thanks again!

AlpheccaStars · Answer

I too have the same doubts. Fine.
Me too have the same doubt. Wrong.
I also have the same doubt. Fine.
I have the same doubt as well. Fine.

Perhaps you are thinking of the rejoinder:

Joe: I think our new teacher is a pushover.
Amy: Me too.

The expression is only "Me too," and nothing else.

Shaunm · Answer

Thanks again, Alphecca.

Can you please tell me what is a rejoinder? Also, I didn't understand the part where you said the use of 'me too' in a sentence is wrong but can be used as a rejoinder. Can you please elaborate that a little bit?

Finally, should my question read 'Can you please tell me what a rejoinder is?'

Sorry for bothering and many thanks.

Like AlpheccaStars basically stated, always list others first and yourself last in a sentence.

For example:
Mary, John and I went to the store.
John and I love cheese.

The way to know when to use 'I' or 'me' is to see how the sentence sounds if the other subjects are removed. "I went to the store" and "I love cheese" sound correct on their own, right? Whereas "Me went to the store" and "Me love cheese" do not.

Also, "Thank you for all your help" should be "Thank you for all of your help" (and 'help' is still written as 'help', not "helps", when referring to more than one person). 'All of' is used when the following word in a sentence is a pronoun, which in this case, 'your' is the pronoun. 'All' is used when the following word is not a pronoun. For example, "Take all the dishes to the kitchen." 'All' is used because 'dishes' is not a pronoun.

Thank you, Dime!

So, basically it's not correct to thank a person like:

Wrong:
Thank you for all your help.
Right:
Thank you for all of your help.

This sentence above can be only applied when I am addressing a single person in a email conversation or can also be applied for a group of people who I want to thank as well?

OR

I should use 'Thank you all for your help' instead?

Thanks!!!

You're welcome, shaunm.

Yes, "Thank you for all of your help" is correct when thanking someone, and it can also be used to address more than one person. "Thank you all for your help" is also correct but can only be used to address a group of people.

Thank you for all of your help: Single person. More than one person.

Thank you all for your help: Group of people.
