Asked by Jonathan

The advice was meant for ____
A)you and i
B)she and i
C) you and me

Hello i need help. My original answer was A)you and I. But then I started reading a book on English grammar and it says it should be C)she and I since they are subject pronouns.
Answered by Writeacher
Would you say, "The advice was meant for I?"

???
Answered by Damon
The advice was meant for YOU. ok
The advice was meant for ME. ok

so which do you think ?
Would you really say:
"The advice was meant for I" ?

They are objects
Answered by Writeacher
"since they are subject pronouns"

Why would subject pronouns be used as objects of a preposition (the word "for")?
Answered by Jonathan
But "I" is the subject and you is the object.
Answered by Writeacher
Yes.

And after "for" (a preposition) you need an <b>object</b>.

Answered by Jonathan
So my original answer is correct

You and I

Answered by Writeacher
No.

For = preposition
Prepositions need OBJECTS after them.

I = for subjects
me = for objects

Here's the sentence, taken apart:

The (article)
advice (noun, subject)
was (auxiliary verb, goes with "meant")
meant (main verb)
for (preposition)
you (pronoun in object form)
and (conjunction)
me (pronoun in object form)
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

As Writeacher told you, these words are objects of a preposition.

Which should you say?
for I?
for me?
Answered by Jonathan
You would say for me.

So it should be you and me

since its in the objective form!
