Is it correct grammar to say 'I and the kids are going to the game'?

Answer 1

No, it is incorrect. The correct way to phrase that sentence is this:

"Bob and I are going to the game."

A simple way to figure it out for yorself is to do this:

Ask, if you were going to the game alone, how would you say it?

You would say "I am going to the game."

You wouldn't say "Me is going to the game." right?

So add the name "Bob" into the correct sentence, and you come out with

"Bob and I .... are going to the game.

(IS changes to ARE if you have more than one person going to the park.)

Example 2:

Which is correct? "Give the book to Mary or I"

"Give the book to Mary or ME"

So, remove "Mary", and you have left

"Give the book to Mary or I"

"Give the book to Mary or ME"

(The correct one is "Mary and ME".)

Example 3:

"Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or me?"

Remove Henry and Laura, and ask which is correct?

"Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or I?"

"Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or me?"

Answer the question out loud: "Am I responsible? or "Is ME responsible?"

"I" is correct here, so the example "me" is incorrect.

The sentence should correctly read: "Who is responsible for the mistake, Henry, Laura, or I?"

Correction:

In example 3, actually ME is correct, not I. Like you said, you remove the

other nouns or pronouns and say the sentence with possessive meaning.

Correct: Who is responsible for the mistake, me?

Incorrect: Who is responsible for the mistake, I?

If you were to rephrase it like you did, "Am I responsible?"

Then yes, I would be proper, not me.

Answer 2

It is right to say "Bill and I are going to a meeting" because take away the 'Bill' and the plural tense of 'am' then you are left with "Me am going to a meeting", instead of "I am going to a meeting".

Answer 3

No, :) The correct way to say it would be "The Kids and I are going to the game."

Answer 4

Bill and I are going to a meeting
