I\'ve never been taught under any circumstance to say "Her and me"... It\'s always been "Her and I."

Whatever.

8/10, wow. Last time we had one of these I scored 100%, but this time the "lay" and "me/I" questions got me.

No one would say, “The professor gave the most difficult problems to I.”

No one would say it, but it\'s still gramatically correct. Screw this test.

7/10 but I made stupid mistakes. Even on the PSATs and stuff I still mess up that kind of section.

It\'s not Andrea and ME, it\'s Andrea and I.

I\'ve just asked around the office to check that I wasn\'t going mad but they don\'t seem to know the English language themselves at this website.

I know I\'m from the South of England, the land of cockneys and the missing letter \'t\' at the ends of words, but I\'m certain that\'s wrong.

Here\'s the question :

The professor gave the most difficult problems to Andrea and _______.

"me" is correct. Sentences like that can be broken down to :

"The professor gave the most difficult problems to ME."

You don\'t say

The professor gave the most difficult problems to I.

You got it confused with sentences like this :

"Andrea and I were given the most difficult problems."

Coz when you break this down it is :

"I was given the most difficult problems."

You don\'t say "Me was given......"
