Question

hari and_____are old school friends (I/me)​

Answer 1

"I" and "me" are both words you use when you're talking about yourself, but each one is used in a different situation.

• Both are first-person personal pronouns that let you talk about yourself without using your name, which would feel quite awkward in friendly, casual conversation.
• "I" and "me" have the same definitions, but they are in a different grammatical case.

Hari and me are old school friends.

Hence,

Me is the correct option.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is, "Hari and I are old school friends.

Explanation:

• Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns.
• For example:- She, He, I, Me, Us, We, They, Them, Their, Here, There etc.
• Utility of pronouns:- To refer to the noun without repeating the noun again and again.
• Once a noun has been introduced in a sentence, it should not be used again and again while referring to it as the subject. To prevent recurrent usage of the noun and to give meaning and crispness to the sentence, pronouns are resorted to.
• While using the pronoun "I", it should be kept in mind that it is used after we refer to all others in the subject. Therefore, if we have to refer to a group which includes us also, we have to mention ourselves after we have mentioned the others.
• Therefore, "my friends and I" is correct rather than "I and my friends".
• In the above sentence,  "me" refers to something related to myself whereas "I" refers to myself.
• Since it is the person being talked about directly, the correct word should be "I" rather than "me".

An easy trick to find out the correct pronoun is to consider the sentence standalone with the most proximal subject.
