Mark and I vs. Mark and Me

Choosing between “Mark and I” and “Mark and me” can be tricky, but it’s easier than you think! Here’s a simple rule to get it right every time.

Use “I” when you and the other person are the subject of the sentence, meaning you’re the ones doing the action. For example, “Mark and I are going to the movies.” To check, remove “Mark” from the sentence: “I am going to the movies” still makes sense.

Use “me” when you and the other person are the object of the sentence, meaning you’re receiving the action. For example, “They told Mark and me about the plan.” Test it by removing “Mark” from the sentence: “They told me about the plan” still works, so “me” is correct.

By using these simple tests, you’ll always know which phrase to use in any sentence! Keep practicing, and soon it’ll feel natural.
