Me and David just checked into the hotel.

David and I just checked into the hotel.

David and me or David and I?

Which one is right?

There's a really common mistake in spoken English,

but it's an easy fix.

Don't worry.

In this video, I've come to New York City with my husband,

and we're gonna go over so many examples of

when it should be David and I and when it should be me and David.

Also, notice, each time I say this,

this, there's the word and.

And notice it's never pronounced and.

It's always pronounced David and I.

So today we're also going to really study as a bonus the reduction of the word and,

so that you have smooth and connected speech and a natural American accent.

I'm Rachel.

I have a background in opera singing,

and I've been teaching the American accent to non-native speakers for over 20 years.

The Top 3 Ways to Master the American Accent.

It will blow your mind.

It will give you totally new ideas on how to get the sound you've always wanted.

First, let's go over the basics of David and me,

or David and I.

The name David never changes,

but the pronoun me or I,

does change depending on the grammar.

If it's the subject, the person doing the action, then it's I.

I checked into the hotel.

You'll never hear, me checked into the hotel.

People only really mess up pronouns like this when we're using AND and a name, like David.

So you'll probably never hear a native speaker say,

me checked into a hotel,

but you will definitely hear Me and David checked into a hotel.

But it's not correct.

Who's doing the action here?

Is it the hotel?

No, it's Rachel and David.

We are the subjects, so it has to be I.

I checked into the hotel.

David and I checked into the hotel.

My friend and I checked into the hotel.

So remember, subject of the sentence, use I.

Our other pronouns are as follows.

You is the subject and the object.

You gave me a dollar.

I gave you a dollar.

He is the subject and him is the object.

He gave me a dollar.

I gave him a dollar.

She is the subject and her is the object.

She gave me a dollar.

I gave her a dollar.

For it, it's both the The subject and the object.

It gave me a stomach ache.

I gave it a second coat of paint.

We is the subject and us is the object.

They is the subject and them is the object.

We gave them a dollar.

They gave us a dollar.

Okay, now what about in this sentence?

Which is right.

The hotel gave me and David an upgrade.

The hotel gave David and I an upgrade.

David and I, or David and me.

Who's doing the action here?

It's the hotel.

They're giving the upgrade.

So David and I are receiving the action,

we're getting it, so we're now the object.

The hotel gave me an upgrade.

The hotel gave me and David an upgrade.

We would never say, the hotel gave David and I an upgrade.

This is grammatically incorrect.

It has to be me and David because I'm the object here.

The hotel gave me and David an upgrade.

The The hotel gave her an upgrade.

The hotel gave him an upgrade.

The hotel gave us an upgrade.

The hotel gave them an upgrade.

Okay, with what you've learned so far,

pick the correct one for this sentence.

Are running late, me and David, or David and I?

Let's take out David.

Can we say, me is running late,

or me are running late.

No, that's not correct.

I am running late.

So it has to be,

David and I are running late,

not me and David are running late.

My friend's name is Audrey and she and I met when we sang together in the Bronx Opera Company years ago.

Let's look at that sentence.

My friend's name is Audrey,

and she and I met when we sang together in the Bronx Opera Company.

She and I, or me and her, or her and I.

Okay, first of all, her and I is never an option.

These two should never go together because when it's the subject,

100

it's I or she.

101

When we're talking about the object, it's me or her.

102

So I can never do her and I together.

103

She and I met when we sang together in the Bronx Opera Company.

104

We are the subject of this sentence.

105

She and I is correct.

106

My friend's name is Audrey,

107

and she and I met when we sang together in the Bronx Opera Company years ago.

108

Bronx Opera hired she and I at the same time.

109

Bronx Opera hired her and I at the same time.

110

She and I?

111

Her and I?

112

Are either of these correct?

113

Do you remember what I just said?

114

Her and I can never go together,

115

so that expression was incorrect.

116

What about the first expression?

117

Who's the subject?

118

Bronx Opera hired she and I at the same time.

119

It's Bronx Opera.

120

Who's the object?

121

I am, Audrey is.

122

The hiring was done to us.

123

So it needs to be her and me.

124

Bronx Opera hired her.

125

Bronx Opera hired me.

126

Bronx Opera hired her and me at the same time.

127

And right now, David and I are on our way to meet my friend Lynn.

128

Lynn also sang with us in the Bronx Opera.

129

Thank you.

130

David and I are on our way,

131

or me and David are on our way.

132

Which is right?

133

Who's doing the action?

134

It's David.

135

It's me.

136

We are the subjects.

137

So the correct answer is David and I.

138

David is on his way.

139

I'm on my way.

140

David and I are on our way.

141

Never, me is on my way.

142

Me and David think the light reflecting off these buildings is gorgeous.

143

Who's doing the thinking?

144

The subject.

145

I think the light reflecting off this building is gorgeous.

146

David thinks the light reflecting off this building is gorgeous.

147

David and I think the the light reflecting off this building is gorgeous.

148

We are the subjects.

149

Me and David think the light reflecting off these buildings is gorgeous.

150

Wait, me and David?

151

David and I.

152

Before the show, David and I met up with my friend Lynn for dinner.

153

My friend Lynn and I just had dinner.

154

Delicious.

155

And Lynn and I both sang with Audrey in Bronx Opera, we're so excited.

156

So long ago.

157

So long ago.

158

Honestly, I'll share some photos.

159

Um, but we're so excited to go see her.

160

Yeah, we are.

161

Now I'm talking about myself and Lynn.

162

Again, we're the subjects, so I use I.

163

Lynn and I.

164

And yes, I do have some photos.

165

This is me, this is Lynn, and this is Audrey.

166

Notice I didn't say this is I.

167

In the phrase, this is me, me is the object.

168

Sometimes under a photo, you'll see something like, me on a hike.

169

It's grammatically correct.

170

It's short for, this is a picture of me on a hike.

171

And I want to be clear,

172

these kinds of mistakes happen all the time.

173

Even I, someone who's passionate about English and about grammar,

174

make mistakes like this from time to time.

175

For For example, I noticed I made a mistake in this text to my aunt.

176

David and I are the objects.

177

The photo is of us.

178

So, I should have said,

179

here's a picture of me and David a couple weekends ago.

180

I would never say, here's a picture of I.

181

But when putting it with and in a name, mistakes can creep in.

182

My friend Lynn and I just had dinner.

183

Delicious.

184

And Lynn and I both sang with Audrey in Bronx Opera.

185

Lynn and I first met in,

186

it was in Florida, right?

187

Yeah, in Florida.

188

You and Gabby, yes, Gabby,

189

you're living right next door to me and Holly.

190

Me and Holly.

191

Is this correct?

192

Lynn and Gabby are the subjects.

193

Holly and I are the objects.

194

We were the ones they were living by.

195

So yes, Holly and me is correct.

196

You and Gabby were living next to Holly and I.

197

This is incorrect.

198

You and Gabby were living next to me and Holly.

199

And you and Gabby, yes,

200

Gabby, you're living right next door to me and Holly.

201

David and I brought the train in today and the hotel gave me and David an upgrade.

202

Really?

203

No, No, they didn't, but I just,

204

I was trying to use me and David as an object instead of a subject.

205

Okay, so I was lying earlier when I said we got an upgrade.

206

We didn't, but it was a good way to make us the subject of the sentence.

207

The hotel gave me and David an upgrade.

208

Do you have a nice view?

209

We do have a nice view,

210

but that's because I paid for it.

211

Okay, yeah, well, that's New York for you.

212

That's New York for you,

213

yeah, no, it's nice though.

214

The thing about you, is you can use you as a subject or an object.

215

I can say you met me in Florida and then I can say I met you in Florida.

216

But so you was the same in both of those but I had to switch between I and me.

217

I met you, you met me.

218

You met me.

219

Yes.

220

We met each other.

221

We met each other.

222

Yeah.

223

And we're still friends.

224

And we're still friends all these years later.

225

I wonder if I actually have photos from that year.

226

summer.

227

I probably do.

228

I checked.

229

I don't have any photos from that summer.

230

Okay, here's a bonus, the pronunciation of grocery.

231

Well, there's a grocery store we could probably find.

232

Yeah.

233

Oh yeah, let's go in the grocery store.

234

You know what?

235

Some people ask me about the word grocery.

236

How to say it?

237

Yeah.

238

I say grocery.

239

What do you say?

240

I do, I say grocery.

241

You do?

242

Grocery.

243

This is awkward.

244

I can't fit, Rachel!

245

I would do it.

246

Okay.

247

Hold on.

248

There we go.

249

Okay.

250

You say, wait, you say what?

251

Grosh or gross?

252

Gross.

253

Gross.

254

Gross.

255

And I say gross.

256

I think so.

257

Groceries.

258

Grocery.

259

No, I do not say that.

260

I say grocery.

261

Grocery.

262

I think I could also say that,

263

but most of the time I think I say gross.

264

Huh.

265

All right.

266

Let's find some nice flowers here.

267

Okay.

268

We'll do our best.

269

We'll find flowers for her,

270

not for she, for her.

271

We'll find flowers for her,

272

for you, for him, for me, all objects.

273

I think she would like that.

274

That's pretty.

275

All right, let's do it.

276

Let's go.

277

I said let's do it at the exact same time.

278

All right, where's checkout?

279

Here, here, checkout.

280

Okay, perfect.

281

Good.

282

I feel good about showing up with this.

283

The price isn't on it, is it?

284

Yeah, I think it is.

285

Here.

286

We're meeting her in the lobby after, did I tell you?

287

Oh, no. Okay, good.

288

She is meeting you and me, not you and I.

289

Don't forget your receipt, Rachel.

290

That's your receipt.

291

Oh, that's mine.

292

You're right.

293

Lynn and I are meeting her.

294

Her is the object.

295

She, now the subject, is meeting me and Lynn.

296

Lynn and I are meeting her.

297

She's meeting me and Lynn.

298

Thank you.

299

Thank you.

300

Oh, she'll love that.

301

She will.

302

Not her.

303

She.

304

She'll love it when we give them to her.

305

And we will enjoy giving them to her.

306

We will feel so good.

307

It will make me and you feel wonderful when you and I give her the flower.

308

It will make me and you feel wonderful.

309

We are the objects, the ones who receive the feeling of wonderful.

310

When you and I give her the flowers.

311

Now for this part of the sentence,

312

we're switching to the subject,

313

so me changes to I.

314

We're the subjects, the ones doing the action of giving.

315

When you and I give her flowers,

316

it will make me and you feel wonderful.

317

Okay, quiz time.

318

Take one more look at the graphic.

319

Pronouns for subjects and pronouns for objects.

320

There are seven questions here.

321

Can you get a perfect score?

322

She thought that David and I went to the store.

323

She thought that me and David went to the store.

324

The structure of this sentence is a little bit confusing because David and I are not at the beginning.

325

And we usually think that the subject is at the beginning.

326

But actually, this sentence has two different subjects.

327

She, and then the word that resets.

328

So David and I are also subjects.

329

She thought that David and I went to the store.

330

David and I are the subjects of this part of the sentence.

331

So that's why the correct answer is she thought that David and I went to the store.

332

Her and I used to work together.

333

She and I used to work together.

334

Me and Ginny left at 3.

335

Ginny and I left at 3.

336

My brother and I got into a big fight.

337

Me and my brother got into a big fight.

338

Mom and I are leaving.

339

Me and mom are leaving.

340

Mom and I are leaving.

341

They left David and I with the bill.

342

They left me and David with the bill.

343

They left when me and David got there.

344

They left when David and I got there.

345

This is sort of confusing just like the first sentence.

346

David and I are not at the beginning of the sentence,

347

but we're the subjects of this part of the sentence.

348

The word when resets it.

349

So they is a subject,

350

but David and I are also a subject.

351

They left when David and I got there.

352

David and I are the subject of this part of the sentence.

353

Hey, what score did you get?
