Me and me are personal pronouns that have the function of replacing the noun in the sentence and indicating the person(s) in the speech.
- The “I” is a personal pronoun of the straight case that plays the role of the subject or of the subject's predicative.
- The “me”, a personal pronoun of the oblique case that plays the role of verbal complement or nominal complement.
Examples:
- Me I can't believe I made it through the job interview.
- Me I like traveling to the beach more than to the mountains.
- when will you trust me?
- This gift is for you and for me.
Important!
Remember that the “me” does not conjugate verb, only the “I”. Therefore, we must never use: “for me to do”; “I start”; “I like it”, etc. The correct is: “for me to do”; "I start"; "I like".
