I For example whats right this is between you and me or this is between
- 00:23
you and I To answer this question weve got to get back to the basics.
- 00:27
I and me are both pronouns which means theyre words that take the place of nouns.
- 00:32
And theres just one difference I always takes the place of a subject and me
- 00:36
always takes the place of an object.

For example take George and Kelly over here.
- 00:42
Lets say George says to Kelly I love you.
- 00:45
unless he gets very nervous in which case he might accidentally say me love you.
- 00:49
George is the subject hes the person doing the action the loving in the sentence.
- 00:53
So naturally he uses I instead of me.
- 00:56
Now the same thing applies of course if theres more than one subject.

George Kelly and I are going to the rodeo this weekend to taunt some bulls.
- 01:05
You could also just think of it like this If its the subject of the

sentence its going to be I.
- 01:11
If its not the subject of the sentence its gonna be me.
