Which sentence is correct?
Is it correct for me to write "My husband and I are concerned about our daughter", or "Me and my husband are concerned about my daughter."
Top answer
The first version is correct. A handy tool is to use only the single subject (I/me) for a test: I am concerned about my daughter. Me am concerned about my daughter.
