What is the proper way to use me in a sentence?

"Me" is a pronoun that functions as the object of a verb or preposition. Here's how to use it correctly:

Object of a verb:

* Correct: The teacher gave me a good grade.

* Incorrect: The teacher gave I a good grade.

Object of a preposition:

* Correct: She sat next to me.

* Incorrect: She sat next to I.

Remember: "Me" should never be used as the subject of a sentence.

Here are some examples of how to use "me" in sentences:

* My friend gave me a ride home.

* The dog jumped on me.

* She sent the email to me.

* They invited me to the party.

If you are unsure whether to use "me" or "I," try this trick:

* Remove the other person from the sentence. For example, "The teacher gave me a good grade." Becomes, "The teacher gave a good grade." Since "me" sounds correct in this sentence, it is also correct in the original sentence.
