What is the difference between "I" and "me"?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

One is the subject and the other is the object of a sentence.

Example: John and I went to the park. (I is the subject)

John invited me to the park (me is the object)

People often make the mistake of saying something like:
"She was very good to my mother and I" but it should be "to my mother and me". It's easy to tell if you take out the other person and realize you would never say :"She was very good to I". Also, saying "me and my friends went to the mall" is wrong as you can easily tell if you take the "friends" out of sentence and get left with "me went to the mall". It obviously should be "I went to the mall". Just adding other people doesn't change anything.

Answer 2

..."2" letters

Answer 3

When you use "I", you are talking about something you like, something you are doing, going to, basically about yourself. "Me" is used more in groups, like"me and my friends" You would not say "I and my friends" you use me with my. But you can say "my sister and I" It is a wierd language.

Answer 4

Answer 5

First, some definitions:
Subject - The person/place/thing that is the topic of the sentence. The subject can be doing an action or can be undergoing some state.
Direct Object - The person/place/thing that is the recipient of an action (the object receives some sort of action).

"I" is always used as a subject of the sentence. (I go to the store.) It never makes grammatical sense to use it as a direct object. (The dog bit I.)

"Me" on the other hand is always used as a direct object. It makes sense to say. (The dog bit me.) Although sometimes people use it as a subject (Me and my friends went to the store.), it is grammatically incorrect and in other cases, it just sounds bad. (Me go to the store.)

Aside from that fact, they both refer to the speaker, in the form of first-person speech. So essentially their meaning are the same, but are appropriate in different uses.
