The advice was meant for ____
A)you and i
B)she and i
C) you and me
Hello i need help. My original answer was A)you and I. But then I started reading a book on English grammar and it says it should be C)she and I since they are subject pronouns.
Would you say, "The advice was meant for I?"
???
The advice was meant for YOU. ok
The advice was meant for ME. ok
so which do you think ?
Would you really say:
"The advice was meant for I" ?
They are objects
"since they are subject pronouns"
Why would subject pronouns be used as objects of a preposition (the word "for")?
But "I" is the subject and you is the object.
Yes.
And after "for" (a preposition) you need an object.
So my original answer is correct
You and I
No.
For = preposition
Prepositions need OBJECTS after them.
I = for subjects
me = for objects
Here's the sentence, taken apart:
The (article)
advice (noun, subject)
was (auxiliary verb, goes with "meant")
meant (main verb)
for (preposition)
you (pronoun in object form)
and (conjunction)
me (pronoun in object form)
No.
As Writeacher told you, these words are objects of a preposition.
Which should you say?
for I?
for me?
You would say for me.
So it should be you and me
since its in the objective form!
