I vs Me

If you are the subject of the sentence use I.

  • After I drank my coffee, I was very happy.
  • I asked Arriana to help with the project.


If you are not the subject (just the object of the action), use me.

  • My mother told me to focus on my studies.
  • The ball came flying through the air and hit me on the head.
  • The weather looks very cold to me.

In sentences like those above, we don't tend to make mistakes. Our mistakes tend to happen when we group Me or I with a noun

  • The referee was looking at Jack and . . . (me, I)

To determine if the usage of "I" is correct, all you have to do is take out "Jack" to isolate the first-person pronoun:


  • The officer was looking at me.
The referee was looking at Jack and me

  • Neco and . . . (me,I)  are excited to go to the concert.
I am excited to go to the concert

Neco and I are excited to go to the concert.
