me

/mi/; strong /mi:/ pronoun the object form of I: It fell off and hit me on the head. | He bought me a drink. | Give that book to me. | She's two years older than me. | That's me, standing on the left of the bride. USAGE NOTE: ME FORMALITY: me, her, him, us, we, they, them When you are speaking you usually use me, her, him, us, and them after as, than, and the verb to be, and with and and or in a phrase that is the subject of a clause: I'm not as pretty as her. | She's older than him. | It's them. | Tanya and me are off to Acapulco, or even Me and Tanya are off to Acapulco. In very formal or old-fashioned writing you may see I, she, he, we and they used instead: None was as rich as he. You may also hear this in spoken English, but it often sounds much too formal or pompous: It was they. | My husband and I are going to the opera. You can avoid using either by rephrasing your sentence: No one was as rich as he was. | They were the ones. | I am going to the opera with my husband.
