Re: Which Is Correct? (Grammar-Related)

  • The second one.  A good rule of thumb is to use "me" at the end of a list (however short) when "me" would be appropriate standing alone.  e.g. "Please contact me with details"

    Myself is a reflexive word and should only be used when "me" or "I" is the subject of the sentence.

    I chose this one too but didn't know why!  I need to take a grammar class!  I can't remember anything anymore!

  • Here's what I was taught: 

    "Please contact Jane or me if you have any questions."

    If you take out the bolded/underlined part, the sentence needs to still make sense.  So, this does:

    "Please contact me if you have any questions."

    And these do not:

    "Please contact myself if you have any questions."

    "Please contact I if you have any questions."

    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
