A compound subject has two or more subjects joined by and/or.

A compound object has two or more objects joined by and/or.
👉 Example: The teacher called Ravi and me. 📞

✅ Use me in the object (receiver of the action).

  • If it’s doing the action → use “I”. 💪
  • If it’s receiving the action → use “me”. 🤲

⭐ Compound Subjects (use I)

  • I and my brother are painting. 🎨
  • My friend and I love reading. 📚

⭐ Compound Objects (use me)

  • Dad took Sam and me to the park. 🌳
  • The teacher praised Ravi and me. 🏆

👉 Try the sentence without the other person.

  • “She gave the gift to me.” ✅

    This will help you choose the right word! 👍

I = subject (doer) 🙋

Me = object (receiver) 🙇
