Question 问：

My aunt invited my friend and I to dinner. Is this sentence correct?

我姑姑邀请我的朋友和我（I）吃晚饭。这个句子正确吗?

Answer 答：

The sentence should be "My aunt invited my friend and me to dinner."

句子应该是“我姑姑邀请我的朋友和我（me）去吃饭。”

The first person singular pronoun "I" is used when it is the subject of a verb.

第一人称单数代词“I”当它是动词的主语时使用。

The first person singular pronoun "me" is used when it is the object of a verb or preposition.

第一人称单数代词“me”当它是动词或介词的宾语时使用。

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”是动词“invited”的宾语。(“我的阿姨”是主语。)

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.

当使用复合主语或宾语时(一个包含两个或两个以上的人/物，如“我的朋友和我/我”)，有时很难确定使用哪个人称代词。

One thing you can try is using only the pronoun.

你可以尝试只使用代词。

For example, in "My aunt invited my friend and I to dinner" try removing "my friend and."

例如，在“我姑姑邀请我的朋友和我共进晚餐”中，试着去掉“我的朋友和。”

This leaves you with "My aunt invited I to dinner" which may sound more obviously wrong.

这就只剩下“我姑姑请我（I）吃饭了”，这听起来可能更明显是错误的。
