Question 問:
My aunt invited my friend and I to dinner。 Is this sentence correct?
我姑姑邀請我的朋友和我(I)吃晚飯。這個句子正確嗎?
Answer 答:
The sentence should be “My aunt invited my friend and me to dinner。”
句子應該是“我姑姑邀請我的朋友和我(me)去吃飯。”
The first person singular pronoun “I” is used when it is the subject of a verb。
第一人稱單數代詞“I”當它是動詞的主語時使用。
The first person singular pronoun “me” is used when it is the object of a verb or preposition。
第一人稱單數代詞“me”當它是動詞或介詞的賓語時使用。
In the sentence above, “my friend and me” is the object of the verb “invited。” (“My aunt” is the subject。)
在上面的句子中,“my friend and me”是動詞“invited”的賓語。(“我的阿姨”是主語。)
When using a compound subject or object (one with two or more people/objects like “my friend and I/me”), sometimes it can be difficult to determine which personal pronoun to use。
當使用複合主語或賓語時(一個包含兩個或兩個以上的人/物,如“我的朋友和我/我”),有時很難確定使用哪個人稱代詞。
One thing you can try is using only the pronoun。
你可以嘗試只使用代詞。
For example, in “My aunt invited my friend and I to dinner” try removing “my friend and。”
例如,在“我姑姑邀請我的朋友和我共進晚餐”中,試著去掉“我的朋友和。”
This leaves you with “My aunt invited I to dinner” which may sound more obviously wrong。
這就只剩下“我姑姑請我(I)吃飯了”,這聽起來可能更明顯是錯誤的。
