Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The IRS 1040 form must be signed by both my wife and (I, me, myself). Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the object of the preposition "by" and should be in the objective case.

2. To get the job done right the first time, I find it easier just to do it (I, me, myself). Which pronoun is best?

Answer: myself

Use "myself". One way to determine whether to use "myself" is to see if "I" has appears elsewhere in the sentence. "Myself" is reflexive and "reflects" back onto the subject "I".

3. Let's just keep this little secret between you and (I, me, myself). Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the object of the preposition "between". Use the objective form "me".

4. This project would have been completed months ago had it been done by (I, me, myself). Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the object of the preposition "by". Use the objective form "me". The reflexive "myself" is not appropriate because there is no subject "I" to reflect back upon. In a slightly different phrasing, the reflexive would be correct: "This project would have been completed months ago had I done it myself." Note that the subject "I" appears in this case to make the reflexive "myself" appropriate to use.

5. You answer the telephone. The person on the other end asks to speak to you. You should reply, "It's (I, me, myself)." Which pronoun is best?

Answer: I

"I" is grammatically correct because the verb "to be" does not change the case from the nominative "I" to the objective "me". On the other hand, most people will answer "me" even though that is technically incorrect. Unfortunately the use of "I" has come to sound quite schoolmarm-ish and may even sound pretentious. I will accept either answer. "Myself" is incorrect in any case.

As a side note, I had the unfortunate experience to hear a speech entitled "I Am Me" with those words peppered into the speech at every opportunity.

It was like hearing someone screech his nails on the chalkboard. Of course, another correct answer would be "This is she", but as that was not an answer option, we won't worry about it.

6. My boss assigned that feasibility study to Mr. Greene, Ms. Scarlet, and (I, me, myself). Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the object of the preposition "to". Use the objective.

7. John and (I, me, myself) had planned to spend the week exploring the caves of western Kentucky. Which pronoun is best?

Answer: I

"I" is part of the subject of the sentence, so use the nominative case. If it sounds odd, try the sentence without "John and". Would you say, "I had planned..." or "Me had planned..."?

8. At the trial, the key witness proclaimed, "I heard my neighbor threaten to shoot both my husband and (I, me, myself)!" Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the direct object of "shoot". Use the objective case. Here the subject "I" does appear in the sentence, but there is no reflexive sense here. A slight change of words incorporating the reflexive would change the meaning entirely. "I heard my neighbor threaten to shoot my husband myself!" In this case, only the husband was threatened and she heard that threat herself, but was not threatened personally.

9. Between you and (I, me, myself), our boss is going to be in a lot of trouble when the big shots find out about the W.R. Dailey deal he signed. Which pronoun is best?

Answer: me

"Me" is the object of the preposition "between". Use the objective case. If this sounds wrong, imagine substituting the nominative "we" or the objective "us". "Between us, our boss..." or "between we, our boss..." would be the options. It is clear in this case that the objective "us" is correct.

10. I, and only (I, me, myself), am to blame for the accounting errors. Which pronoun is best?

Answer: I

Use I. "And only I" is simply a restatement for emphasis and clarity.
