Grammar Question +rep

[Susie Dent]

Think of it this way.

You wouldn't say "Someday, you're coming over to watch a game with I." Adding another name doesn't change that...

I should know. I'm Susie Dent.

Well I speak normal English not Canadian.

Whos to say what "normal" english is?

Many different people from around the world speak english, and they have their own words and rules for it. So hows to say what "normal" english is?


And susie, if you knew how to speak english, you would know that if your saying another persons name, you always put their name first and then add I.

If theres no name, you say me.

If in doubt, take your friend out of the sentence.

• Me and my friend went to a party last night. [Wrong]
  I and my friend went to a party last night. My friend and me went to a party last night. [Wrong]
  My friend and I went to a party last night.
  The mayor has invited me and my husband.
  The mayor has invited I and my husband. [Wrong]
  The mayor has invited my husband and me.
  The mayor has invited my husband and I. [Wrong]

Just because it may sound 'posh' does not make it grammatically correct.
Oh, and I think the people who publish the Oxford English dictionary should know. Not some... Canadian.

Which is the correct way to say this sentence.

OR

Someday, your comming over to watch a game with Jared and I.


+rep for all that help.

Someday, you're coming over to watch a game with Jared and I.
Someday, you are coming over to watch a game with Jared and I.

[Susie Dent]

Someday, you're coming over to watch a game with Jared and I.
Someday, you are coming over to watch a game with Jared and I.

lol @ how everyone still thinks it's "and I".

[t0tsy]

If I was saying this to anyone, I wouldn't say 'someday' anyways.


"Someday, your comming over to watch a game with Jared and Me.

OR

Someday, your comming over to watch a game with Jared and I."


I'd say
"You have to come over and watch a game with me and Jared sometime"
