When to use "I" vs "me"?
Hello) I noticed the teacher as school using "I" and "me" interchangeably in her feedback. Wanting to ensure I'm teaching my child correctly, I decided to politely ask you for clarification on when to use each.

Hello there!

"I" is a subjective pronoun used when referring to oneself as the subject of a sentence. For example:
- I am going to the store.
- Sarah and I are studying for the exam.


On the other hand, "me" is an objective pronoun used when someone is doing something to you or with you. For example:
-He gave the book to me.
-The teacher praised Sarah and me for our efforts.


So, to summarize:
- "I" is the subject.
- "Me" is the object.


I hope this clarifies the difference for you! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you, and I hope this helps!
