When are you supposed to say "and I?". As in "my friend and I went to work". But everyone says it's supposed to be "my friend and ME ". When is the I used?


Treat the subjects as separate i.e. “My friend went to work” and “I went to work.” Those are both correct so combining them into “My friend and I went to work.” is the correct option. “Me went to work” isn’t a proper sentence.

Using “my friend and me” would work when you and you friend are passive subjects, i.e. “This happened to my friend” and “This happened to me” would be combined into “This happened to my friend and me.” You wouldn’t say “this happened to I.”

I have no idea when I should say was instead of were, this is my confession.

Use were in hypothetical statements (usually in conjunction with “if”,) such as:

“If I were to pay ten dollars to join a website…”

Okay, so at the end of King Kong someone says "It was beauty killed the beast." Which hurts my brain, shouldn't it be "It was beauty that killed the beast,"?

It can be either, the “that” is implied in the former.
