"Nilbog and I" - subject of the sentence

"Nilbog and me" - predicate of the sentence


Ben de la Durantaye chatted with Nilbog and me.

Ben de la Durantaye (subject) chatted (verb) with (acted upon) Nilbog and me (receiver of action (in the sentence's predicate)).


Fully:

I wanted to thank Ben de la Durantaye for chatting with Nilbog and me

I (subject) wanted to thank (verb) [Ben de la Durantaye for chatting with Nilbog and me] (predicate)





Alternatively:

Nilbog and I wanted to thank Ben de la Durantaye for chatting with us.

Nilbog and I (subject) wanted to thank (verb) [Ben de la Durantaye for chatting with us] (predicate).

Not saying I don't believe you, I would just like to see it in some form of published grammar manual. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"I" is a pronoun that must be the subject, never the object, of a verb.

"Me" is a pronoun that must be the object, never the subject.
