I / My / Me / Mine / Myself ?

I / My / Me / Mine / Myself ?

If you’re confused by the words I, MY, ME, MINE, and MYSELF, you’re not alone!

In this msg, I’m going to teach you a quick and easy difference between them.

* I And ME

”I” is the subject – the person who does the action in the sentence.

👉I gave Jagan the book.

”Me” is the object – the person who receives the action in the sentence.

👉Jagan gave me the book.
OR
👉Jagan gave the book to me. 

Most people get confused when there are multiple subjects or objects in the sentence, but the rule is still true:

👉Dhruva and I saw Jagan at the party.
Dhruva = subject
I = subject
Jagan = object

👉The teacher called Saritha and me.
The teacher = subject
Saritha = object
me = object

* MY And MINE

#KvrraoTip
Use ”MY” before the word, and

use ”MINE” after the word:

👉Paul is my friend.
👉Paul is a friend of mine.
👉Those are my glasses.
👉Those glasses are mine.

* MYSELF

The word MYSELF is used in two cases:

🔹As a reflexive pronoun – when “I” is both the subject AND the object
👉I gave myself a haircut.
(This means I cut MY own hair)
👉I accidentally cut myself with the scissors.

🔹For emphasis – when you want to emphasize the 👉“I”I baked this cake myself!
(I want to emphasize that I made it, and not another person) 
👉I know Jagan was at the party because I saw him there myself.
(I saw Jagan at the party with my own eyes)
👉Give me the letter – I’ll deliver it myself.
(I’ll deliver the letter personally)

BY MYSELF

The expression by

 MYSELF means alone:

I went out to dinner by myself.
