english grammar: is it me and my friends or my friends and me for the end of a sentence?
Favorite Answer
if it’s in the middle of the sentence, it’s “my friends and i.”
the best way to remember if you’re using “me” or “i” is to remove the other subjects.
say… “the prize was delivered to….
*my friends and me.
(or if you take out “my friends”)
*me.
You would never say “The prize was delivered to I.”
Just try it without the other subjects. too many people use I when it should be me, and you want to sound smarter than that. 🙂
For example, if you wrote, “It belonged to my friends and me.” The sentence would still look right with just, “It belonged to me.” So you’ve got it right. On the other hand, if you wrote, “Me and my friends went to the mall.” It wouldn’t sound right if you wrote it, “Me went to the mall.”
That’s the way I always do it, anyway.
This is true even if it is used in an adjective phrase modifying the word separation.
In case it is used as an object,”my friends and me” is the right one.
