When composing a body of work, you will often need to refer to yourself. The proper usage of "I versus me" has caused a great deal of confusion for students for quite some time. The best way to remember the proper usage of the term “I” is that it is used as the subject of a sentence. When the word is to be used as an object (direct or indirect) the word “me” should be used.

When to use I vs. Me


There are some things in the English language that apparently sound similar but have different purposes and functions. The two words "I" and "me" are great examples of such a situation. It can get really tricky for the young students to understand the difference between them both. There can be confusions to determine if you should use the word "I" or "me" in your sentence. However, it gets very simple once you have understood the concept.


The pronoun "I" can be used when the person who is speaking receives the action of the verb in a way. It can be received directly or indirectly. Confusion arises when there is a compound subject or object present in the sentence. This is because a lot of people will use "me" in the subject position and they will use "I" in the object position while speaking. This method is completely fine.
