Is it and me or and I?

Use “and me” when you need a first-person object pronoun that functions as part of a compound indirect object, direct object, or object of a preposition. For example:

  • My favorite barista always gives my friends and me a special discount.
  • The manager asked Phyllis, Angela, and me to plan the office Halloween party.
  • The wedding invitation was addressed to my boyfriend and me.

Use “and I” when you need a first-person subject pronoun that functions as part of a compound subject or a compound predicate nominative. For example:

  • Sean and I ate all the hot sauce and chicken wings.
  • The only vegetarians at the Super Bowl party were Serena and I.

What is a direct object pronoun?

Pronouns (words that stand in for nouns) can have different forms depending on whether they are acting as a subject (e.g., “I,” “we,” “they”) or an object (e.g., “me,” “us,” “them”).

When a pronoun is used as the direct object of a sentence, the object form is always used (e.g., “Martin sent them”).

The most common object pronouns in English are “me,” “you,” “us,” “him,” “her,” “it,” and “them.”
