No. Never use "myself" in place of "me" or "I." For example, "Talk to me and Bob," or "Bob and I are here to help."

ALSO

myself herself himself ourselves etc are called reflexive pronouns and refer back to the subject of the sentence so they shouldn't be used in the subject position.

We cooked the dinner ourselves.

It depends on what function the phrase is playing in the sentence.

If the two of you are the subject of the sentence, you would use "Bob and I," for example:

Bob and I are going to the movies.

If you're the direct object, you'd use "Bob and me" or "me and Bob":

The committee greeted Bob and me.

The easiest way to know for yourself is to pretend Bob is elsewhere, and think which word would be used just to refer to you. You wouldn't say, for instance, "the committee greeted I," nor would you say "Me am going to the movies."

john and myself. Depends on the context. Sometimes, neither. e.g. "He drove John and Myself to the store" is incorrect. (source : canuwrite[dot]com[slash]grammar_pronouns[dot]php).

Is it right to say myself and John are here?

No it's not correct grammar. You don't say "Myself is here." You say "I am here," so you would say "John and I are here."


What is the correct sentence I confirm John and myself as participants or I confirm John and me as participants?

"I confirm John and myself as participants" is correct. "Myself" is one of the "reflexive" pronouns, which should be used whenever an element of the predicate of a sentence represents the same person as an element of the subject of the same sentence. The easiest way to remember is: If you say the sentence again, but leave out "John", you would then say "I confirm myself as a participant." You wouldn't say "I confirm me as a participant."

Is it ever correct to say me and John?

Yes! "She is with me and John." You can test it out by using the sentence with just one of the persons at a time. For instance, "She is with me." is correct. Also, "She is with John." is correct. Therefore "She is with me and John" is also correct. (However it might sound more natural to say "She is with John and me")

Is my family is myself your mom and your dad correct grammar?

No. Excruciatingly correct is My family is my mom, my dad and I. But we say My family is me, my mom and dad, or ...my mom and dad and me.You should only use "myself" reflexively ( I wash myself regularly) or for emphasis ( I, myself, did this). Never use "myself" in place of "I" or "me."


Is it grammatically correct to say 'On behalf so-and-so and you' or 'On behalf of so-and-so and myself'?

Never, but NEVER use "myself" in this way. We say "On behalf of so-and-so and me." The reflexive pronoun myself is NOT a more formal form of the objectivepronoun "me."
