Question

Select the alternative that will improve the highlighted part of the sentence.
I and my brother go to college by bus.

A.

My brother and I

B.

No improvement

C.

My brother and me

D.

Me and my brother

Correct option is A


The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) My brother and I.
Explanation:
· According to pronoun usage rules, when two people are mentioned as subjects, the other person is mentioned first, followed by "I", not "me."
· The correct subject form of the pronoun is "I", not "me".
· So, "My brother and I" is grammatically correct.
Grammatical rule used:
Subject pronouns (I, we, he, she, they) should be used when the pronoun acts as the subject of a sentence. In compound subjects, the speaker comes last.
Example:
Incorrect: I and Rahul are going.
Rahul and I are going.
