Finn and Jake #14

If your sentence includes you and and another person, you must put the other person first.  It's like being respectful, and making the other person more important.

Directions:  Combine the sentences into one, and use the correct order of people.  You will use either I or me.  Write the complete new sentence.

Example:

I went to the grocery store.  My mom went to the grocery store.

My mom and I went to the grocery store.  Notice that "My mom" comes first.  Also, when you rewrite the sentence, read the sentence using the "I" alone to see if it makes sense.  I went to the grocery store, makes sense.

1)  The movie seemed scary to John.  The movie seemed scary to me.

2)  Sophie likes popcorn with a little salt.  I like popcorn with a little salt.

3)  I went out to see where the noise was coming from.  The principal went out to check out the noise.

Correct these sentences, and write them with the corrections:

1)  Me and Jacob would like a red pen to correct our mistakes.

2)  I and the dog are ready for our run.

3)  Me and the teacher decided that it was time for another break.
