<p>Is it correct to say "She did not care about me being cold."
Or should you say "she did not care about MY being cold."</p>
<p>Confused @-@</p>
<p>Noone?? …10 10 10</p>
<p>^No one is two words</p>
<p>Don’t hold me to this, but I think that when there is a gerund (being), you have to use the possessive form of the noun, which would be (MY).</p>
<p>I was in texting mode lol. Thanks though</p>
<p>I thought that too, but than the former sounds better even though you shouldn’t do grammars like that … Haha</p>
<p>The gerund “being” functions as a noun. As a way of remembering whether to use “my” or “me” replace “being cold” with a simple noun … as for example …</p>
<p>She didn’t care about [me, my] opinion.</p>
<p>Here it’s pretty obvious that the choice is “my opinion”. It’s the same with the gerund.</p>
<p>So which is right – Me or My:</p>
<p>[Me, My] biking through the park is the only exercise I enjoy.</p>
<p>Since “being” is a gerund, MY should be the better one.
However–in SAT grammar, this kind of usage seems pretty awkward…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Using a possessive with a gerund is correct on the SAT.</p>
<p>So does it make a difference if the gerund is acting like a noun or a verb? Will it affect the sentence in terms of whether or not the noun before it will be possessive?</p>
