Use of "I" versus "me"

Me is correct.

Try dropping the other person's name to tell which form of the pronoun should be used.

You wouldn't say, "Please join I at the museum." That lets you know through a simple trick that it should be the objective form of the pronoun, me, in this sentence.

Another trick is to substitute the plural form of the pronoun for the two persons, e.g., Please join US

Hi,

What is the current proper grammar for using the word "me" in a sentence? Example:

Whcih of these two would you say?

Please join me at the museum.

Please join I at the museum.

The most typical English sentence construction is SVO (subject-verb-object, see below). In your sentence the pronoun in question comes after the verb so should be an object pronoun.

I is used in this case because it renames the subject, it. One often hears in spoken English, "Yes, Mom, it is me," but that is incorrect, although widely accepted in casual spoken usage.

I think it's ok to say " We have met the enemy which is us." though...

sam1947Perhaps the most famous incorrect following of this rule was by the comic strip character Pogo in an early Earth Day poster. He said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."

That is incorrect for two reasons. 1) he and us don't agree in case...he is the subjective case and us is the objective case and 2) he and us do not agree in number, as he is singular an
