Some of the first words English students learn are "I" and "me." [qh]

But even native English speakers do not always know which one to use in a sentence. [qh]
但是即使是母语为英语的人士也不总是知道在句子中使用哪一个
In today's Ask a Teacher, Fernanda from Brazil gets right to the heart of the problem. [qh]
在今天的名师答疑节目中,巴西的Fernanda直指问题的核心
Here is her question.[qh]
以下是她的提问
Sometimes I don't know when to use "I" or "me." [qh]
有时候我不知道什么时候用 I 或 me
For example, I want to tell someone that I made some food with a friend. [qh]
例如,我想要告诉某人我跟朋友一起做了一些食物
How can I say it: "Monica and I made the food?" or "Monica and me made the food"?[qh]
我该怎么说呢?应该说 “Monica and I made the food? ”还是“Monica and me made the food?”[qh]
Hello Fernanda![qh]
Fernanda,你好
I can tell that you know to use the word "I" when you are the only subject of the sentence. [qh]
当“你”是句子中唯一的主语时,你知道使用“I”这个单词
You correctly wrote "I want..." for example. In this case, "I" is the subject and "want" is the verb.[qh]
例如你正确地写出了“ I want…”在这种情况下, I 是主语,want 是动词
But you are asking about a situation involving two people: you and your friend.[qh]
你问的是涉及你和你的朋友两个人时的情况
Let's review what you already know to find the answer.[qh]
让我们来回顾一下你已经知道的知识,以找出答案
"I" is a subject pronoun. [qh]
“I”是主语代词
It refers to the person performing the action of a verb. [qh]
它指的是执行动作的人
Use "I" for the subject of the sentence.[qh]
“I”用作句子的主语
"Me" is an object pronoun.[qh]
“Me”是宾格形式
It refers to the person receiving the action of a verb. [qh]
它指的是接受动作的人
Use "me" for the object of the sentence.[qh]
“Me”用作句子的宾语
In your sentence about cooking, are you and your friend the subject or the object of the verb "made"? In other words, are you the ones making the food – or is the food making you?[qh]
在你关于烹饪的句子中,你和你的朋友是动词 made 的主语还是宾语?换句话说,是你制作食物呢还是食物做成你?[qh]
You are making the food, of course. [qh]
显然是你制作食物
So, the answer to your question is: "Monica and I made the food." [qh]
所以,你的问题的答案就是“Monica and I made the food”
In this sentence, the whole subject is "Monica and I."[qh]
在这句话中,完整的主语是 “Monica and I”
Let's look at a few more sentences with "I" as part of the subject:[qh]
让我们来再看几个用“I”做主语的句子:[qh]
In September, Monica and I are starting classes.[qh]
莫妮卡和我九月份要开始上课
When can Monica and I visit the new museum?[qh]

David is giving Monica and me a ride to the airport.[qh]
戴维正开车送我和莫妮卡去机场
If you're still not sure whether to choose "me" or "I," try keeping just the pronoun. Listen:[qh]
如果你还是不确定用 me 还是 I ,请尝试一下仅保留代词
What did you bring back for I?[qh]
你给我带了什么?[qh]
You would not ask, "What did you bring back for I?" [qh]
你肯定不会说“What did you bring back for I?”[qh]
The correct way to form the question is: "What did you bring back for me?" [qh]
正确的问法是“What did you bring back for me?”[qh]
Then you can just add the other person back to the sentence: "What did you bring back for Monica and me?"[qh]
然后把另一个人重新放回句子中,这句话就是 “What did you bring back for Monica and me?”[qh]
And that's Ask a Teacher.[qh]
