[aisle] Totally off subject

[Denyse Eagleson]

Sorry for typos - wide awake at 4:30 a.m. after spending almost 3 grueling weeks completing inventory while packing for the library to be emptied for remodeling preparations!

>> My kids used to always say, "Me and Amy went to the store." I would ask them if they would say "Me went to the store" and of course they said that sounded wrong...so the same concept you are making. It was a fun summer of push ups, but my 4 called each other out all the time and we eventually got everyone on board when to use me/I. We got a few looks though with the random places they did push ups...working the grammar and health that summer!

>> I learned if you use it in a sentence singularly, you use it with more than one. Examples: 
>> I went to the store/Tom and I went to the store.
>> Could you make me a sandwich?/ Could you make Mary and me a sandwich?

>> I hope it’s ok to ask this on this list serve. It is driving me crazy! I mean teachers are using the I and me wrong (according to me)!!!
