:? i thought it is 'me' for both cases. No? :?:
think it has always been 'I' for both cases. No?LKT:
I have 2 questions.
1. The teacher told my friend and _______ to help her carry the books.
(a) I (b) me
2. Father took John and ______ to the museum today.
(a) I (b) me -
Answer is ‘me’ for both.
You would say ‘The teacher told me’, not told I. Similarly, ‘my father took me’, not I. -
you are right. I was asleep :oops:

Yes. Answers : 'me' for both questions.I have 2 questions.

2. Father took John and ______ to the museum today.
(a) I (b) me
Pronouns have cases:
nominative (for subject of a clause) = I
Objective (for object of a verb or preposition) =Me
Possessive (when a noun owns another)= My
In your sentences, the pronouns (either me or I) are both objects of verbs. Thus, use the objective case. -
what’s the difference between ‘who’ and ‘whom’?

Seriously, I can't explain it so I googled and got this from http://www.elearnenglishlanguage.com/difficulties/whowhom.htmlwhat's the difference between 'who' and 'whom'?

[quote] Who
Who is an interrogative pronoun and is used in place of the subject of a question.
Who is going?
Who are you?
Is this who told you?
Who can also be used in statements, in place of the subject of a clause.
This is who warned me.
Jack is the one who wants to go.
Anyone who knows the truth should tell us.
Whom
Whom is also an interrogative pronoun, but it is used in place of the object of a question.
Whom is this story about?
With whom are you going?
Whom did they tell?
And whom can be used in statements, in place of the object of a clause.
This is the man whom I told you about.
John is the man whom you met at dinner last week.
Whom is always the correct choice after a preposition.
The students, one of whom is graduating this year, failed the test.
Lisa is the girl with whom I'm driving to Maine.
The Bottom Line
The difference between who and whom is exactly the same as the difference between I and me, he and him, she and her, etc. Who, like I, he, and she, is a subject - it is the person performing the action of the verb. Whom, like me, him, and her, is an object - it is the person to/about/for whom the action is being done. Whom is also the correct choice after a preposition: with whom, one of whom, not \"with who, one of who.\"
Sometimes it helps to rewrite the sentence and/or replace who/whom with another pronoun so that you can see the relationships more clearly.
This is who warned me > He warned me (not \"him\" warned me)
Jack is the one who wants to go > He wants to go (not \"him\" wants to go)
This is the man whom I told you about > I told you about him (not about \"he\")
Lisa is the girl with whom I'm driving to Maine > I'm driving to Maine with her (not with \"she\")[/quote] -

Hi jedamum,
:?:ChiefKiasu:
How about this - which of the following is correct?
\"Ryan and I went to the mall.\" vs
\"Ryan and me went to the mall.\"
Is Ryan and me went to the mall correct?
Cos when separated into 2 sentences, it seems to be Ryan went to the mall and me went to the mall.
Sorry to go back into an old problem, but it is Ryan and I went to the mall, as if you break it up, it becomes, Ryan went to the mall. I went to the mall. (Imagine this problem in the synthesis & transfo. way)
Hope I helped!

Muffins, your questions about KiasuPoints are answered in http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=33.
As for \"merging\", that happens when someone starts a new thread even though an existing thread on a similar topic already exists. The new thread is then merged with the existing thread so that the Forums remain neat and tidy and easy for people to search and find info.
