English_Learner  +  388913 Fri, 06 Jul 07 11:20 PM Hi everyone. Can someone give me several clear examples or just to explain when it's better to use she, he, I and when her, him, me? Which one of these 2 is the correct one? Or if the both of them are correct, what is the difference betwen them and in what situation it's better to use the 1st example (using she,he, I) and when the 2nd one (her, him, me)?           1st                                                    2nd ------------------------------------------------------------- That's what she said.         or       That's what her said. That's what he said.          or       That's what him said.           I didn't.                   or               Me didn't. Thank you and have a nice wekend.

	Cool Breeze  +  388917 Fri, 06 Jul 07 11:26 PM Hi EL You need to have the subject form (she, I) in your sentences as you have a finite/main verb (said, didn't [say]). The controversy mainly concerns sentences like: It's I/me. Both are correct but no one says It's I.

	English_Learner  +  421431 Thu, 20 Sep 07 06:18 AM Thank you very much for your explanations. However I'd been confused with using of these personal pronouns till I found another one. For those like me, I've decided to post it: Is it "Kathryn and I go shopping." or "Kathryn and me go shopping." ? The subject pronouns must be part of the subject of the sentence; this means that the pronoun performs the action, for example: "Kathryn and I go shopping." Kathryn and the speaker are performing the action of shopping, so they are the subject of the sentence. The object pronouns always receive action.  "The store fired Kathryn and me." Me is the pronoun in this sentence and is correct, as opposed to  "The store fired Kathryn and I " because Kathryn and the speaker (me) have 'received' the action of firing.
