Writing Lesson of the Day: I and Me

So, I have to admit something. I got in a fight with my high school grammar teacher, and it's been haunting me ever since. I was sick with Mono, missed a lot of school, and then he wouldn't let me retake a big test. I went to the principal, and he told me I could drop the class, but that there were going to be difficult people in life that I would have to learn to deal with, and that I should start now by sticking to the class.

I dropped the class anyways.

Now, I'm constantly scouring the internet to make up for lessons I would have learned in that missed class. And, still working on that "dealing with difficult people" thing.

Grammar Lesson of the day: I and me
When you’re talking about yourself and someone else, be careful to use I and me correctly. Many people think it’s classier to always use I, and they end up getting it wrong half the time. The best way to know which one to use is to eliminate the other person from the sentence and see what you’ve got left.

Jenny and I went to the store. I went to the store. (That’s right.)

Grandma gave the cookies to Jenny and I. Grandma gave the cookies to I. (Nope.)

Grandma gave the cookies to me (that’s right).
