John and I are going to the store. Would you like to come along with
a) me and him?
b) him and I?
c) I and him?
d) him and me?
correct answer is b?
No. Since both pronouns are the objects of the preposition with, you need object pronouns -- him, me. That makes d) the correct answer because it's courteous to put yourself last.
Another way to look at it is to leave off one pronoun. Which sounds better?
with me or with I?
with he or with him?
Oh, thank you for the example, it really helped.
You're very welcome. :-)
Yes, the correct answer is option b) "him and I?" when inviting someone to go along.
To determine the correct pronouns to use in this construction, you can break down the sentence and identify the subject and the object. In this case, "John and I" is the subject who are going to the store, while "you" or "we" would typically be the ones inviting the other person.
So, "Would you like to come along with John and me?" would be the grammatically correct sentence. Here, "me" is used because it is the object form of the pronoun, while "I" is the subject form.
It's important to note that the pronoun "I" is commonly misused in this kind of construction due to hypercorrection. Many people tend to say "me" when they should say "I." However, in standard English, "me" is the correct choice.
