Quite often, we confuse ourselves with regard to Subject and OBject in sentences. I am not explaining Subject and Object here as we all know. Or else i would end up taking only grammar classes.
Few examples:
He took Mother and I for a ride in the car. -- This is wrong. This should be " He took mother and me for a ride in the car".
"Come and sit we girls" is wrong but should be "Come and sit us girls"
"Me and wife went to picture" is wrong. "My wife and I went to picture"
"Its me" is wrong but "Its I" is right.
"The person who i saw" is wrong but "The person whom is saw..." is right.
Who is subjective and whom is objective. Similarly, use of I and me. Hope the few examples would have given you an idea of the use of Subject and Object.
When two words form a common adjective, a hyphen should be used between those 2 words. eg architect-designed houses...
will continue...
