Me vs I - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

 

In this video we take a look at the difference between "me" and "I". While they are often used without a problem in normal sentences, they are often used incorrectly in certain situations. For example, in the sentence "can you send the report to Ian and I" the use of "I" is incorrect. It should be "can you send the report to Ian and me" The reason for this is that "I" is a subject pronoun and ?me" is an object pronoun. If you remove Ian from the sentence, it becomes clear that the use of "I" is wrong. You would not say ?can you send the report to I" but you would say "can you send the report to me?". This is an easy trick to see which of the two is the correct one. Watch the video and give it a try.


Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching. This convenient, highly structured design means that you can quickly get to grips with each section before moving onto the next.

In this unit, I learnt the productive skills of speaking and writing, both of them carry equally importance, for speaking, we can find some good paper to arise students' interest and for writing, is different from speaking, so we must pay attention and learn about the layout, punctuation, etc. And we can not ignore the practical usage of writing.This unit has taught me a lot of different teaching methods and techniques. Methods like Task-Based Learning, Community Language Learning, Communicative Language Teaching, Presentation, Practice, and Production. I also learned about many different games such as Word Searches, Gap Fill, Hangman, and Tongue Twisters that can be used for studying.
