When to Use I or Me | 3 Tips to Identify These Tricky Pronouns

Sometimes it's hard to know which pronoun to use. Even native speakers get confused with subject and object pronouns. In this video, we look at the subject pronoun "I" and the object pronoun "me" and show 3 strategies to use these correctly. This is usually tested on standardized tests. Examples are given.
CORRECTION: At 5:35 I incorrectly referred to the phrase "between you and me" as a subordinate clause. It is not. It is a prepositional phrase. Clauses have both subjects and predicates.

I heard this sentence on TV the other day; they used the pronoun “I”, but I think the correct pronoun should be “me”.
“Don’t forget to catch Rachel, Will and I every Saturday morning.” Is the correct pronoun “me”?
BTW, great videos 😀

[@thelearningdepot]

You are 💯 correct. It should be “me”. 😊

[@sureshsati7701]

This is me in the picture correct?

[@thelearningdepot]

In formal English you would say "this is I", but most native speakers say "me".

Can you please make one using more difficult sentences? Like "My sister and I went to the store" This was too easy
For example... When our collie was a puppy, she would run in circles around my brother and me, barking loudly.... Why is it a me not an I?

[@thelearningdepot]

She would run in circles around my brother. She would run in circles around me. Remember that the best tip is to separate the nouns/pronouns and test them individually. When you do so, you can see that "me" is the correct choice, not to mention that you need an object pronoun since the clause already has a subject. Hope this helps. :-)
