The use of I, me and myself

'I' and 'me' are different cases of the personal pronoun.
Simply put, 'I' is used as the subject of a sentence, 'me' as the object.

Examples:
- I am a good swimmer. (well this is an easy one, we don't say 'Me am...')
- He kicked me. ('me' is the object of the sentence and thus we don't say 'He kicked I')

'Myself' is not a substitute to 'me' or 'I', but it is use

Another explanation:

All three are personal pronouns. "I" is the subjective form, used when the speaker is the subject of the sentence as in "I am a good swimmer", or when the speaker is a predicate nominative, as in "The best swimmer is I."

Use "me" as a direct object ("He kicked me"), as an indirect object ("He gave me the book"), or as the object of a preposition ("He gave

You're almost correct, but using 'myself' for emphasis is really colloquial. Myself is used when the object of the action is the same as the subject. For example:

"I hurt myself." or "I shot myself in the foot."

The same thing goes with 'himself.' For example:

"He hurt himself." or "He shot himself in the foot."

Saying, "She doesn't like it, but I myself...

"In the old days when people studied traditional grammar, we could simply say, "The first person singular pronoun is I when it's a subject and me when it's an object,' but now few people know what that means. [. . .] The misuse of I and myself for me is caused by nervousness about me. [. . .] But the notion that there is something wrong with me lea

"On behalf of my family and me, we appreciate the........" or "On behalf of my family and I, we apprectiate the........"

Are either of the two correct? If so, which one? I am writing a letter of resignation. Thanks!

You wouldn't say "on behalf of I", would you?

You need this:

On behalf of my family and me, we ....

Use "I" when it is the subject of the sentence:

I am the owner of that book. I want to read that book.

Use "me" when it is the object:

That book belongs to me. Hand that book to me.

Use "myself" to modify the subject:

I wrote that book myself.

Here's a simple way we were taught at school .... I often refer back to that lesson when deciding between using 'me/myself/I' in cases which include another person e.g. John and me/myself/I went to school or the ball hit John and me/myself/I .... split the two people and re-say the sentence as if it refers to just ONE person .... then put John back in! So in the examples about we wouldn't say "me

Very good explanation and easy to remember! Thanks
