The advice was meant for ____

Question

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.

Answer 1

Would you say, "The advice was meant for I?"

???

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

"since they are subject pronouns"

Why would subject pronouns be used as objects of a preposition (the word "for")?

Answer 4

But "I" is the subject and you is the object.

Answer 5

Yes.

And after "for" (a preposition) you need an object.

Answer 6

So my original answer is correct

You and I

Answer 7

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)

Answer 8

No.

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

Which should you say?
for I?
for me?

Answer 9

You would say for me.

So it should be you and me

since its in the objective form!

Answer 10

Right!

Answer 11

Whew, that is settled.

Answer 12

Finally!!!
