2 Answers. While "I says" appears often in spoken, informal speech, it is also often used as an example of extremely (excessively?) casual language -- almost a stereotype of a relaxed storytelling mode in which proper speech does not matter.

It's only necessary to capitalize other pronouns when they begin a sentence. However, the pronoun "I" is always capitalized, no matter where it falls in a line.

4 Answers. "Do you mind..." is a polite way of asking "Can you...." For this reason, it's usually acceptable to respond to the semantic intent of the question by answering "Yes (I can do that)", rather than responding to the grammatical form with "No (I don't mind)".

“I”—just like “they”—is a subject noun living in an object noun's place. The correct sentence should have “me” (the object pronoun) following the verb: She gave Jim and me extra cookies.

The myth — that you should really say "I'm well" — relies on the idea that modifying a verb requires an adverb. The verb "am," however, involves special circumstances that make "I'm good" a perfectly acceptable answer. It's true that adverbs, not adjectives, are used to modify most verbs.

Dear Sir or Madam is the customary ordering, which is reason enough to do it in a formal setting. But also consider the "rhythm" of the opening; sir has half the syllables as madam, and therefore it sounds better when sir is uttered first.

Re: Using "here" to start a sentence In speaking English this would be perfectly fine. "Here we go again!" and "Here comes the police!" are other common speaking English sentences.

If we want to know if you're alright, we'll say "how are you?" If we're asking if you're alright, we're saying hello. The correct reply is: "Alright?" (Or "You Alright?") The response to this question is another question.

If the cashier at the store asks “How you doing?” as you pay for your things, you should respond “Good, how about you?” or “Doing fine, and you?” or “Good, how about yourself?” And they'll respond with… yep, you guessed it: “Good, thanks.” Or “Fine thanks.”

The proper answer is either, “Fine, thank you,” or “How do you do?” or some form thereof. For example in a formal setting it might go like: Person A: “Good evening, B.

Re: countries I would say 'which'. You use 'who' for people. Yes, that's right, but it is people who speak English not countries.

This her is not strictly correct, but that isn't because it is the first word in the sentence, but rather because it is part of the subject. In informal English, I suppose this might be OK; but, according to convention, it should be she and her voice were truly a gift. You can obviously start a sentence with "her".

So, if you trust it as a source, the (pedantic, technical, grammatical) answer is no. However, "done right" is very commonly used in informal contexts in American English to mean "done correctly". I would not say or write "done right" in any formal context.

Since “Sophie and I” is a compound subject, “I” is the correct pronoun because "I" is the subjective pronoun. Now for objective pronouns: In the case of, “Sophie went with I/me/myself for a walk”, the correct form is “me”, because the subject (Sophie) does the verb (went) involving the object (me).

Yes, it's more common in British English but even in American English it's correct. If you said "Well what have we got here?" it might not sound weird. And that is the same grammar tense just made into a question. Americans tend to say "I got" instead of "I've got" it's why it sounds odd.

Therefore, the subject pronoun, I, is considered correct. You will certainly hear native speakers say, “Jenny and me,” and it may be acceptable in spoken English, but most traditional grammarians and English teachers will disapprove. Don't use it in writing.
