but i think watch is the correct term
so meaning when u say watch where you are going, means on the spot u look out at the direction u r going....while when u say see where you are going...more like umm maybe eg...i can't see where i m going with this problem unsolved??

If you are not sure then the way to be sure is to go all the way.Originally posted by a_splash:someone and me, someone and i (u put someone first)
but its either you or me rite?? or either me or my brother?
if its either me or my brother, y put me first??
pls help!
bo pian, i can't connect to chitchat, so put in this crap uni lor ....
wu 'teacher' bo??
Like: "Who did you go to the market with?"
"My brother and I" or "My brother and me?"
If you go all the way then it would be clearer.
"My brother and me went to the market" or "My brother and I went to the market."
It is easier to know which is correct right? -

sorry, u are saying when starting a sentense?? ok that one i m aware....
in informal speaking terms, [b]one may introduce the sentence structure as you n me or you n I depending on what is the nouns and other dedicating terms are used. coming back to ur eg. above (underlined) if one is on an informal speaking term, it is alright to use you n me. in writing, it should be you n I. the 'I' in this sense doesn't denote an accusative meaning. it is merely a representation of the person in a more formalised manner and perhaps due to the closely knitted Queen's standard (UK) with the Singapore's former english language relationship, it is taught as you n I, rather than the USA version of you n me.[/b]
but after going thru some reading,.....my understanding is depends on 'nature' of the sentence?? if i say he will be giving me a lift, hence if i need to add another person....it will be the same....he will be giving you and me a lift?
they are both formal rite??

i, you are 1st person rite (need to go home check grammar book for thisOriginally posted by Nelstar:Follow the thumb rule:
Either you or I do it.
So, either he or I.
When possessive words like 'my' or 'your', the subject person comes first.
Me or my brother. You or your father.
)
he she it, john, mary ...2nd person
my brother, her sister, etc 3rd person....
tio boh...
