You and I have never met before. It is amazing that you can teach the differences between “ You and I “ and “ You and me. “ in such a shirt video.🎉😊

[@monicas2461]

This short type of video is very helpful!!! Thank you!

[@bbclearningenglish]

In formal English the correct answer is b). This is because the speaker is a 'subject' of this sentence, so we have to use a subject pronoun - 'I'. Both are correct in informal spoken English. More here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/english/course/eiam/unit-2/session-39

Could you please teach the difference between get and become.... ?

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

18SUEN47 Shilpa.E 👨🏻‍🏫 Hello. Mr Teacher here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I have an answer to your question. We use ‘get’ to mean obtain or create. You can get a prize at the sports competition. You win a prize. You are given a prize. We use ‘become’ to mean to develop or change or improve. I will become a grandfather next year. A plant seed will become a flower. We can also say ‘That hat becomes you’. It is a good choice for you at the wedding. I am becoming very tired after a long walk in the forest. I hope this is helpful for you.

Loved it! Thanks a lot!! Now I just have one doubt - I usually hear that you must say "*Sam, Jane, Nic,.... and I*" always in this sequence (putting myself at the end for a polite reason). But, is it the same with the Object" Me"? Is there some rule?

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

dina karen barros 👨🏻‍🏫 Hello, Dina. Mr Teacher here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I can answer your question. Actually, you have answered it already. Yes it is polite to leave any reference to yourself at the end of the sequence. It also shows respect towards your companion(s). I hope this is helpful for you.

0:44 an easy way to check is to take out the other person. Why is "Sam" in the sentence Sam and I are making a video omitted? Can anyone explain to me a little bit?

[@danielduarte6802]

The trick is that when you don't know which one is correct: _ Sam and I are making a video; _ Sam and me are making a video; you can remove the other person: _ I am making a video; _ me am making a video; so it's easier to notice whether to use 'I' or 'me' (you should notice that "me am making a video" sounds wrong)

[@agustinpastorino5988]

The first one is correct. Personal pronouns (subjective case: I/he/we, etc.) can't stand on their own.

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

xren0123456789 👨🏻‍🏫 Hello. Mr Teacher here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Your examples are correct when speaking informally. In Example 1 you can add ‘It’s me, Alex.’ Example 2 is more unusual. It is better to add ‘I am here in the kitchen’ or another location. I hope this is helpful for you.

[@lexmole]

"I" is the first-person subject pronoun, "me" is the first-person object pronoun. So, what is a subject and what is an object? The subject is the part of the sentence which is *acting* whilst the verb describes the *action* and the object is a supplement. A full sentence can be correct *without* an object, but it *always* has to contain a subject and a verb. For example: I (subject) am working (verb). I (subject) am working (verb) with Tom (object). WRONG: "Working with Tom." (means: this is not a *complete* correct sentence therefore it can *not* stay alone *without context* but it could be a response to a question - and even that would be a colloquial answer, not a formal one). To find out, what a subject and an object is, you ask following questions: Subject: Who or what is doing something? Object: With who/whom (more exact form, but nowadays - especially for learners - not commonly used) Let's have a look at the second example "You're are working with me and Tom". • *With who/whom* are you working? → *Tom and me* (object) • *Who* is working with Tom and me? → *You* (subject) Since "Tom and me" are the *subject* - you can't replace "me" with "I" (at least not in formal language, in everyday-speech it might be acceptable - but technically wrong). General hint: In normal sentences, the subject is found mostly in the beginning of a sentence. Hope it's a bit clearer now, unfortunately, I'm not an English native speaker, but the explanation is the same for every language that I speak.
