    • I am trying to find out which is right. He did that for “you and I” or He did that for “you and me” One person says that if you put “you” first then it is you and I. They say that if you put me first it is me and you. The other says it is you and me no matter which goes first. Please help.

This is a line to a poem I wrote. Could you please supply me with the proper grammar for the words in parenthesis. “I know that time would stand still if I (was) more (then) just a memory.”

Posted on February 7, 2013

Terra,

The correct grammar requires the sentence to read as follows: “I know that time would stand still if I were more than just a memory.”
