A-Z Glossary

me, myself, I

'I' is used as a subject, while 'me' is used as an object in a sentence. 'Myself' can be used as a compound with 'I', or for emphasis after 'I', but not as a substitute for 'I' or 'me'. When using 'I' or 'me' as one of two subjects or objects, an easy tip is to use the one that makes sense when the other subject is omitted.
