<p>Option 1: Bob and I went to the mall.</p>
<p>Option 2: I and Bob went to the mall.</p>
<p>Now which one is correct? I have heard sentences structured like Option 1 very frequently, but I have not seen them structured like Option 2 at all. Are they both correct? Is Option 2 completely wrong?</p>
<p>Anyone else have any strange grammar phenomena to share?</p>
<p>BTW, I want to know this for the writing section of the SAT/PSAT. The more educated you are on grammar, the better you will do!</p>
<p>Option 1 I tihnk</p>
<p>But are BOTH options grammatically correct? I do admit that the second one does sound kind of awkward, but still…</p>
<p>I don’t think it is. In everyday conversation it’s alright though. If you have iTunes you should subscribe to Grammar Girl, she has some neat podcasts about grammar rules</p>
<h1>2 is incorrect for the purposes of the SAT.</h1>
<h1>2 is wrong, because “I” should always come last in a list of people. Think back to the 4th grade lol, it was this one rule that was never again repeated.</h1>
<p>“Joe, Heather, and I…”
“You and I…”
“Me, myself, and I…”</p>
<p>I explicitly remember hearing this rule.</p>
<p>Here’s another grammar question:</p>
<p>Which is acceptable (or is more than 1 acceptable?)</p>
<p>1: She has as many friends as I.</p>
<p>2: She has as many friends as I do.</p>
<p>3: She has as many friends as me.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Number two is correct because the ‘number of friends’ is not associated with ‘me’ or ‘I’, but the amount that you have… ‘as I do’.</p>
<p>I think?</p>
<p>Another option:</p>
<p>4: She has as many friends as I have.</p>
<p>Which are the grammatically correct ones?</p>
<p>Never mind.</p>
<p>If it’s the subject, use “I.” If it’s the object, use “me.” Listen to that Grammar Girl, son!</p>
<p>For the first one, AeroE is right, it’s option two.</p>
<p>For the second one, I’m pretty sure that it’s option three because a pronoun after a preposition always takes the objective case.</p>
<p>1,2,4 i believe.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is the correct one. “I” is used only as a subject and “me” is used as a direct object.</p>

<p>has the explanation for problem #2.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The only verb in the sentence is has, and it’s not performing an action on me.</p>
<p>Which would you say
<p>Self explanatory.</p>
<p>It helps to learn things like clauses and predicate nominatives to have a good understanding of proper grammar.</p>
<p>You say that as though they actually teach grammar in school.</p>
