Grammar Assignment
I went to the grammar girl website to do this assignment. This time I listened to a podcast about how to use “this is I,” versus “this is me.” I thought that it would be pretty interesting, and helpful. I learned that “the traditional grammar rule states when a pronoun follows a linking verb, such as is, it should be in the subject case.” So in other words, if someone called and asked “Is this Rebecca?” I should use “It is I” rather than “It is me.” Traditionally “I,” should be used in these cases, but since “it is me,” is used by practically everyone, most grammarians agree that one should use what sounds right for the situation.
