by | Last updated on January 24, 2024

, , , ,

When more than one personal pronoun is used with a verb, the order is normally:

3rd or 2nd person before 1st person; 2nd person before 3rd person

.

Do you put yourself first or last in a sentence?

A: There's no grammatical rule that when you mention yourself along with another person,

you mention yourself last

. This may be an issue of politeness, but it's not one of grammar.

Does me come first or second?

That's your Quick and Dirty Tip:

Always put the “me,”

“my,” and “I” last in a list. For other pronouns, you can put them where they sound right to you, but if I'm mixing nouns and pronouns, I usually think it sounds better to put the pronoun first. Always put the pronouns “me,” “my,” and “I” last in a list.

Do you say me before or after?

It can also be helpful to consider the position of the word in the sentence. “I” is used before the verb, while

“me” is almost always used after the verb

(the exception being the predicate nominative).

What comes first the person or you?


First person is the I/we perspective

. Second person is the you perspective. Third person is the he/she/it/they perspective.

Is me and my friend grammatically correct?

5 Answers. The difference between “I and my friends” and “my friends and I” is purely a matter of courtesy –

they are both grammatically correct

. I would tend to stick to the latter though, as it a) is more commonplace, b) is considered more polite, c) seems to flow better.

Is it grammatically correct to say me and my friend?

The answer is it depends.

“My friend and I” would be the subject

of the sentence whereas we say “my friend and me” when it is the object. e.g. My friend and I went to the shop yesterday. … If someone/something other than yourself is the subject of the sentence and you need an OBJECT, then use: “my friend and me” Ex.

Are or am grammar?


Are is used for plural subjects

, whereas am is used for singular subjects. Jim, John, and I is a plural subject (3 people), so the correct form is “Jim, John, and I are going somewhere.”

Is it grammatically correct to say me and John?

So, it's correct to say ‘John and me' or ‘my family and I', not ‘me and John' or ‘I and my family'. The correct answer would be:

“John and I”

. The two personal pronouns I and me are often used wrongly, usually in sentences in which I is being used with another noun.

Is it wrong to say me someone?

Use the pronoun “I” when the person speaking is doing the action, either alone or with someone else. Use the pronoun

“me”

when the person speaking is receiving the action of the verb in some way, either directly or indirectly. … In each sentence, “I” is the subject of the verb.

What are the third person words?

Third person personal pronouns include

he, she, it, they, him, her, them, his, her, hers, its, their, and theirs

.

What person is the word we?

We, us, our,and ourselves are all

first-person pronouns

. Specifically, they are plural first-person pronouns. Singular first-person pronouns include I, me, my, mine and myself.

Is me and my sister grammatically correct?

It is considered more polite to put the other person first, my sister and me, but either is possible. By the way, the

‘and me' is grammatically correct in this context

. You wouldn't say ‘My mother used to take I to the cinema' and it's the same even when your sister is involved!

Is me and my mom grammatically correct?

Lapsed Moderator.

It is correct

, and entirely normal in many contexts to use the first. The second form breaks a basic rule of traditional grammar in that it uses the object pronoun “me” as part of the subject “Me and my mother”.

Does myself come first in a sentence?

Idiomatically, people probably use me or myself more often than I there – but if they do use I, it's nearly always in the final position (whereas

me tends to come first

, and myself works fine in either position). It is considered polite when giving a list of people that includes yourself, to put yourself last.
