“I” should be used because it’s the correct choice when it comes to subjects. It can also be helpful to consider the position of the word in the sentence. “I” is used before the verb, while “me” is almost always used after the verb (the exception being the predicate nominative).

What is me in a sentence?

When to use me The object pronoun me is typically used as the direct or indirect object of a sentence. It receives the action of the verb or shows the result of the action.

Which is grammatically correct this is she or this is her?

“This is she” is grammatically correct. The verb “to be” acts as a linking verb, equating subject and object. So this is she and she is this; “she” and “this” are one and the same, interchangeable, and to be truly interchangeable they must both play the same grammatical role—that of the subject.

That’s your Quick and Dirty Tip: Always put the pronouns “me,” “my,” and “I” last in a list.

Always put the pronouns “me,” “my,” and “I” last in a list.

What is the I and Me rule?

Rule: Use one of the subject pronouns when it is the subject of the sentence. Example: I hit the ball. So “he” and “I” are both the subjects. Sometimes we want to say, “Him and me will . . .” or “Him and I will . . . .” You can remember the correct pronouns by saying each pronoun alone in the sentence.
