]]> Comment on Grammar Rules Part 2 – I and Me by the editor http://www.booshink.com/grammar-rules-part-2-i-and-me/comment-page-1/#comment-2508 the editor Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:17:50 +0000 http://booshink.com/2008/03/23/grammar-rules-part-2-i-and-me/#comment-2508 Thanks for the comment. To answer your question, in this case "you and I" is correct and is ALWAYS correct in this usage. The reason is that "you and I" is the subject of the sentence and you should always use the subjective form "I". Thanks for the comment.

As an Asian who grew up in America, I made English grammar a priority in my education, but I believe my English teachers may have got some of it wrong as well, including this incorrect "between you and I" phrase. Now, I'm trying to learn the right format for these often used phrases. I still have trouble remembering the technical explanations, but I'll study it until it sinks in. I can't yet explain why but I believe: "You and I are just as incorrigible" is correct form whereas "You and me are just as incorrigible" is incorrect. Am I right, and what is the technical explanation for this? Sometimes either one can be correct, right? Thank you for this post.

“You and I are just as incorrigible” is correct form whereas “You and me are just as incorrigible” is incorrect.

Am I right, and what is the technical explanation for this? Sometimes either one can be correct, right?
