When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.
Is it wrong to say me someone?
It’s not completely incorrect either way (provided that you are using them appropriately as the subject or object of the sentence), but it is generally better to put the first person pronoun after the reference to the other person. To use “Jan and me,” you need to be using the phrase as the object of the sentence.

“I” should be used because it’s the correct choice when it comes to subjects. It can also be helpful to consider the position of the word in the sentence. “I” is used before the verb, while “me” is almost always used after the verb (the exception being the predicate nominative).
How do you properly use yourself?
“Myself” is a reflexive pronoun used when you are the object of your own action – i.e., when “you” are doing something to “you.” (Ex: I could write the songs myself, but they sound better when they are written by Barry Manilow and me.) Other reflexive pronouns are herself, himself, yourself, itself and themselves.

Why we should not use myself?
The word “myself” is what’s called a reflexive pronoun. This simply means that “myself” is a word which reflects on something you did to yourself, or for yourself. So it’s not a substitute for a regular old pronoun like “I” or “me”. It’s an add-on.
Is it correct to say myself?
1 Answer. Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Reflexive pronouns are also used for emphasis, and that is how myself is being used in ‘I myself don’t like this idea’ (although that would probably occur as ‘I don’t like this idea myself’). That is also how it is being used in the second part of the ‘Harry Potter’ quotation.
How do you use I and me in a sentence?
