In the back of your exercise book...
Grammar Starter: I or me? Use I when the pronoun is the subject of a verb: Clare and I are going for a coffee. The pronoun I, together with the proper noun Clare, forms the subject of the sentence (who the sentence is about), so you need to use I rather than me. Use me when the pronoun is the object of a verb: The dog followed John and me to the door. The pronoun me, together with the proper noun John, forms the object of the verb follow, so you need to use me rather than I. Ask for pupils’ definition before showing the correct one.

Which pronoun to use? An easy way of making sure you’ve chosen the right pronoun is to see whether the sentence reads properly if you changed the pronoun used for the other one! √ I am going for a coffee. X Me am going for a coffee. √ The dog followed me. X The dog followed I. If there is more than another noun remove it and see if the sentence still makes sense: Rose and me went for a coffee. (Rose and) Me went for a coffee. X So the sentence needs to be: Rose and I went for a coffee. Hear feedback. All ✰ Most ✰✰ Some ✰✰✰ Can I describe the grammar feature using the correct definition?

The teacher and I ate the chocolates. Me and the team won the match! 5) The cat clawed at Phil and me. Hear feedback.
