which is correct - it is lateefa and I or it is lateefa and me
Because of the linking verb "is," your first choice is correct. Do you understand what a linking verb does and how it and the words after it are different from an action verb?
The "is" represents and "equals" sign. What is on one side of it is the same as what is on the other.
"It" is the subject ... the equals sign says that "Lateefa and I" is the same.
You would never use "me" as a subject.
i do not agree with either of you. the
sentence requires the objective form, therefore " it is me" is correct.
The correct phrase would be "It is Lateefa and me."
To determine whether to use "me" or "I" in a sentence, you can simplify the sentence by removing the other person or people involved. In this case, if we remove "Lateefa" from the sentence, we would be left with "It is me." Therefore, "me" is the correct choice.
Here's a breakdown:
- Use "I" when you are the subject of the sentence, performing the action. For example: "Lateefa and I went to the park," where "Lateefa and I" are the subjects.
- Use "me" when you are the object of the sentence, receiving the action. For example: "She gave the gift to Lateefa and me," where "Lateefa and me" are the objects.
In the phrase "It is Lateefa and me," "Lateefa and me" function as the object of the sentence. So, "me" should be used instead of "I."
