I versus me. A la Shmoop. An identity crisis.

If you've ever spent a day at school in your life, which we certainly hope you have, you've probably heard the following.

Kelly. So then, like me and Veronica, went to the cat fashion show.

Teacher. Ah, ah, ah, Veronica. And I.

The problem, though, is that some students will go overboard and start changing everything to I. For example, what's right? This is between you and me, or this is between you and I?

Well, to answer this question, we've got to get back to the basics. I and me are both pronouns. Which means they're words that take the place of nouns. And there's just one difference. I always takes the place of a subject, and me always takes the place of an object.

For example, take George and Kelly over here. Let's say George says to Kelly, I love you, unless he gets very nervous, in which case he might accidentally say, Me love you. George is the subject. He's the person doing the action, the loving in the sentence. So naturally, he uses I instead of me.

Now, the same thing applies, of course, if there's more than one subject. Kelly and I are going to the rodeo this weekend to taunt some bulls.

You could also just think of it like this. If it's the subject of the sentence, it's going to be I. If it's not the subject of the sentence, it's going to be me.

Thank you, Justin Timberlake.

Understanding the difference between I and me is essential for daily life. Or you could simply refer to yourself in the third person all the time. Shmoop is certainly a big fan of that strategy, and Shmoop is pretty darn smart. Learn more about grammar on our website: http://www.shmoop.com/courses/grammar-rules-intro/

Yo versus mí. A lo Shmoop. Una crisis de identidad.

Si alguna vez has pasado un día en la escuela en tu vida, lo cual esperamos sinceramente que hayas hecho, probablemente hayas escuchado lo siguiente.

Kelly. Entonces, como yo y Verónica, fuimos al desfile de moda de gatos.

Profesor. Ah, ah, ah, Verónica. Y yo.

El problema, sin embargo, es que algunos estudiantes se exceden y comienzan a cambiar todo a "yo". Por ejemplo, ¿qué es correcto? ¿Esto es entre tú y yo, o esto es entre tú y mí?

Bueno, para responder a esta pregunta, tenemos que volver a lo básico. Yo y mí son ambos pronombres. Lo que significa que son palabras que ocupan el lugar de los sustantivos. Y hay solo una diferencia. Yo siempre ocupa el lugar de un sujeto, y mí siempre ocupa el lugar de un objeto.

Por ejemplo, toma a George y Kelly aquí. Digamos que George le dice a Kelly, "Te amo", a menos que se ponga muy nervioso, en cuyo caso podría decir accidentalmente, "Me ama". George es el sujeto. Es la persona que realiza la acción, el amar en la oración. Así que naturalmente, usa "yo" en lugar de "mí".

Ahora, lo mismo se aplica, por supuesto, si hay más de un sujeto. Kelly y yo vamos al rodeo este fin de semana para burlarnos de algunos toros.

También puedes pensarlo de esta manera. Si es el sujeto de la oración, será "yo". Si no es el sujeto de la oración, será "mí".

Gracias, Justin Timberlake.
