DS and I keep going back and forth - grammar check seems to accept either version. Does anyone know which is correct?
“For my friends and I, this issue raised…”
“For me and my friends, this issue raised…”
Thanks in advance!
I’m not a native speaker, so I could be wrong, but both are incorrect AFAIK. “Me” cannot be the subject of the sentence, so the second is wrong. And one cannot say “For I” so the first is wrong.
“For my friends and me, this issue raised…” or “For us, this issue raised…” would be right.
“My friends and me,” I think.
With any question like this, eliminate everything but the pronoun. As @skieurope says, you wouldn’t say "For I, this issue raised . . . " so you don’t say “For my friends and I.” “Me” is not the subject of the sentence (“this issue” is), so that’s not a problem.
“My friends and me” vs. “me and my friends” is really a question of style, not grammar, but I was taught to put “me” last.
Thanks for the help! “My friends and me” sounds right. We will go with that.
I realized letter that I made an error. Thanks for correcting.
Same here.
“For my friends and me” may sound right???
Agree, you don’t say, “For I.” So not “For my friends and (for) I.” But you generally put others first, think of it as a courtesy. So, “For my friends and me.”
And you don’t start a sentence, “Me and my friends.” “Me” isn’t a nominative pronoun.
The school trick is to break up the sentence in your head. You don’t say, “Me went to the store.”
Ski is right: when in doubt, change the wording.
