Do you love the feel good song “Love Myself” by Hailee Steinfeld? She preaches about loving yourself when she sings,
(I love me)
Gonna love myself, no, I don’t need anybody else
(Hey)
Gonna love myself, no, I don’t need anybody else
(I love me)
Can’t help myself, no, I don’t need anybody else
Anytime, day or night
(I love me)
So to celebrate the idea of loving yourself let’s practice using me, myself and I in English.
Here are some quick tips:
Use I for the subject and me for the object in a sentence.
Many native speakers mix up me and I. However there’s still a simple way to decide which to use. Try out the sentence with just I or me (or if you need a plural, we or us) and whichever is correct in that scenario will be the correct version with them added in.
Use myself to refer to the subject of the sentence (it’s a reflexive pronoun). It’s normally used when you have already referred to yourself as “I” in the sentence.
Don’t use a subject pronoun and object pronoun in the same sentence.
Choose the correct word below. Good luck!
