Let’s Begin…
Me, myself, and I. You may be tempted to use these words interchangeably, because they all refer to the same thing. But in fact, each one has a specific role in a sentence: ‘I’ is a subject pronoun, ‘me’ is an object pronoun, and ‘myself’ is a reflexive or intensive pronoun. Emma Bryce explains what each role reveals about where each word belongs.
Which of these sentences is correct? Can you explain why? 1. The decision really is up to Jack and me. 2. The decision really is up to Jack and myself.
