Lesson 7 of 46

Pronouns: I, me, my, myself

Choose the right pronoun form in every position.

The rules

1.Subject pronouns come before the verb: I, you, he, she, it, we, they. Object pronouns come after the verb or a preposition: me, you, him, her, it, us, them.
2.Possessive adjectives go before a noun (my, your, his, her, its, our, their). Possessive pronouns stand alone (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs).
3.Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself…) are only for when the subject and object are the same person: "I hurt myself."
4.With two people, put the other person first and check each pronoun alone: "John and I went", "between you and me".

Incorrect: ~~Me and John went to the meeting.~~

Correct: John and I went to the meeting.

"I went" works alone, so use "I".

Incorrect: ~~Please contact myself if you have questions.~~

Correct: Please contact me if you have questions.

Myself is only reflexive.

Incorrect: ~~This is between you and I.~~

Correct: This is between you and me.

After a preposition use the object form.

Watch out: Remove the other person from the sentence: "Me went" sounds wrong, so it should be "I went".
