In German grammar prepositions often govern govern the case, which I have found useful. Sometimes one has heard the incorrect version so often that one begins to doubt one's own mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988814891958891888.post-27770149432980582002018-06-18T12:58:15.296-04:002018-06-18T12:58:15.296-04:00This is the suitable weblog for anyone who wants t...This is the suitable weblog for anyone who wants to seek out out about this topic. You realize a lot its virtually hard to argue with you (not that I truly would need…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years.

The...Is really annoys me when used incorrectly too!<br />The way ive always been taught to remember it correctly is to take the other person out of the sentence.<br />For example:<br />"Mark and I want to go the fair" is correct because if you take 'Mark' out of it then the sentence still makes sense ( I want to go to the fair vs me want to go to the fair )<br />Likewise, "Could you take Mark and me to the fair?" is also correct because if you again take 'Mark' out of the sentence it still makes since ( could you take me to the fair vs could you take I to the fair ).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13925336470794079685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988814891958891888.post-44067771197350884172008-05-11T19:26:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:26:00.000-04:00Hi Elizabeth!

Either way is correct, it's just that most people mention the other person before themselves. <BR/><BR/>I'll admit, though, I looked this up before I responded, just to make sure, and this was the ruling from AskOxford.com: "Incidentally, saying 'my friend and I' instead of 'I and my friend' is not better grammar, it's just being polite."<BR/><BR/>;-)GrammarScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523964243922354453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1988814891958891888.post-25740292155631103862008-05-11T19:15:00.000-04:002008-05-11T19:15:00.000-04:00Hi Angela,I agree - these kinds of errors drive me...Hi Angela,<BR/><BR/>I agree - these kinds of errors drive me nuts. However, I have a question regarding one of your examples.<BR/><BR/>"Will you go to the fair with me and Josh" is the example you listed s correct. <BR/><BR/>My understanding of this rule was that one always listed the OTHER person first, so it would be proper if it read, "Will you go to the fair with Josh and me."<BR/><BR/>Please let me know what your thoughts are on this. <BR/><BR/>By the way...I LOVE your blog, and love reading about grammar tips too.
