Me and Kris or Kris and I

Question

I need to tell an employee to get on a call with me and my partner. Is it "Please jump on a call with me and Kris" or "please jump on a call with Kris and I"?

Thank you

Answer 1

The correct phrase to use in this case would be "Please jump on a call with Kris and me."

The general rule is to use "me" when referring to yourself as an object of a verb or preposition, and to use "I" when referring to yourself as the subject of a sentence or clause.

In this case, "me" is the object of the preposition "with" and correctly reflects that you are one of the participants in the call along with Kris. Therefore, the correct phrasing would be "me and Kris" or "Kris and me." Using "I" in this context, as in "Kris and I," would be grammatically incorrect.

Answer 2

Hello Jim,

In this case you would use Kris and I: "Please jump on a phone call with Kris and I."

Per the rule of English: you always use "I" when the person speaking (in this case, you yourself) is performing the action described in writing.

And you always use "me" when the person speaking is the one experiencing/receiving the action being performed by other people unto you accordingly--in writing.
