This is kind of a basic question, but I would appreciate your input. If you're describing a photo of you and a friend, do you write:  "My friend and I"    or   "My friend and me"   I understand the usage of "I" as a subject and "me" as an object, but what about the above case where there's no verb?

I've always been taught to put myself last when referring to myself in the same sentence as others but the usage of "me and..." seems to be everywhere these days. The misuse of the word "me" instead of "I" aside, is there some new rule I haven't heard of? Shouldn't we put ourselves last regardless of the "me"/"I" usage?  Examples of "correct" usage:      My friends and I went for some ice   cream. Did you see my friends and me   at the ice cream stand?   Examples of "incorrect" usage:     Me and my friends went for some ice   cream. Did you see me and my friends   at the ice cream stand?   Note: I was also taught that the only person who could put themselves first was the queen.

I saw one of my classmates who were also on the boat while travelling to Saint Martin.  In this sentence what is the subject and why? How can I find the subject in sentences like this?

That looks an interesting book. ()   ‘Look’ can take an NP for its complement by OALD. Now what I’m wondering about is if a person/people could be a subject in the structure, for instance, “They look good guys.” If we can’t, does it have to be “They look like good guys”?

Which personal pronoun is appropriate in single-author papers - 'I' or 'we'? Could the use of 'I' be considered egotistical? Or will the use of 'we' be considered to be grammatically incorrect?

As  shows, we nearly always use the possessive form of personal pronouns for friend of mine/his/ours/etc.  But when it comes to actual names, we prefer  without the possessive apostrophe. That preference is even more marked with, say, . Not that I think the usage itself is particularly American - it's much the same with .  Personally, I find friend of him grates. In general I've no strong feelings either way as to whether it's friend of Peter or friend of Peter's (though I deplore the possessive in ), but in line with many others, I really don't like the possessive in relation to things like countries.  Why is this?   Edit: Noting an apparent "progression" (pronoun -> person -> nation) marked by reduction in use of the possessive, I checked at a finer "granularity". NGram shows that although it does occur,  virtually "flatlines" against friend of mine. But the bias reduces through of you, of us, and by the time I get to  it's much less extreme. There seems to be something "egocentric" about the double possessive.  Presumably when babies learn to speak, they soon notice that possessive pronouns, possessive apostrophes, and the word "of", all do the same job. Parents would correct a child who says "of mine's", but probably wouldn't even notice the same "redundancy" in "of Peter's". Younger speakers are unlikely to even be talking about something "of America's". Perhaps as we mature we tend to discard the "double possessive" for the more "distant" things that only adults are likely talk about, but we keep it for "closer" people because that's how we spoke when we were younger.  EDIT2 I note that I'm a great fan of him is vanishingly rare compared to ...fan of his, but with ...fan (of John) the double possessive occurs far less often than ...friend (of John's). Usage seems to be affected by the noun before "of" as well as the one after it. This is getting complicated...

Yesterday my friend told me someone had parked a truck in our playground but when I got there I could not see it.

I have a feeling that maybe you use one preposition with people, and the other with situations. For example, you might relate with a student who's nervous about an exam, whereas you relate to test anxiety. Am I correct in assuming this? If not, what grammatical rules determine whether you use "to" or "with" following the verb "relate"?

In the sentence: "Drinking and driving is dangerous". Drinking and driving are both subjects and the word dangerous is the object (I think) but why do I have to use the verb to be in singular?

Which one is correct:     Someone like me...   or     Someone like myself...   Is "like myself" ever correct?

It's convention and polite to always list yourself last in a list. I say "John and I went to the store" and not "I and John went to the store."  So does that mean that I should always list myself last, even in the case when the pronoun that represents me is first person, plural (i.e. "us" or "we")? In my case, I'm writing a recommendation letter about my experience on a team with "John," who is the highlight of the letter. I hit a point where I was about to write something similar to:     John and we got a lot of experience working on the project.   or     That project's experience really benefited John and us.   Clearly, he is mentally separated from the others of us who were on the team, at least in this context, so I was just wondering if there were some grammatical conventions to govern this situation.

I've been told to put "I" at the last part of the subject, as in "My sister and I walk to school." Is saying "I and my sister walk to school." wrong?

I've heard that "me neither" is incorrect. Instead one should say "neither do I." People definitely say "me neither" conversationally, but is it technically incorrect?

Is it improper to say "me and Person X"?  I always hear it said as "Person X and I", but have personally learned to say "me and Person X".  Is there a difference between the two versions and is one of them incorrect? "Person and I" just sounds more formal to me.
