Most Common Grammar Mistakes in English - Is it I or Is it me?
?It is me? or ?It is I??
Wrong: It is me, the great tyrant Tyrannosaurus!
Correct: It is I, the great tyrant Tyrannosaurus!
Correct: It is I, the great tyrant Tyrannosaurus!
It is important to note that ?is? is a linking verb, meaning it renames the subject with a subject predicate in English grammar.
Now, normal transitive verbs have an object. (He sees me) Me = object.
Linking verbs have subject predicates instead. (That guy was I) I = subject predicate.
Here?s another example. ? ?A dog is a great pet.?
A dog = subject
a great pet = subject predicate
a great pet = subject predicate
You can see that ?subject = subject predicate?. A dog = a great pet. That?s why they are called linking verbs; because they link two subjects.
And since linking verbs link to subjects, subject pronouns must be used. So that?s why it is ?It is I? and not ?It is me?.
