To use I and me correctly when there is another person in the sentence.
Standard English
Standard English is the form of English we use in writing and in formal speech. Some ways of speaking are fine with friends but are not Standard English, so we correct them in our writing.

| object | Dad took Mia and me to the zoo. (Dad took me.) |
| test | Take the other person out. Does it still sound right? |
Examples

What is on the worksheet
Every sheet for this lesson has a short teaching box and 12 questions that get gradually harder: 8 fluency questions, then 4 reasoning questions that ask pupils to explain or choose. A writing challenge follows. The questions use the same styles as the key stage 2 grammar and punctuation test (circle, underline, tick, fill the gap, add punctuation, rewrite, explain). They are written for this website, not copied from past papers.
All the answers are on the last page of the same editable Word file. New questions are made every time, so you can print a different sheet for every group or for homework. The same sheet code always gives the same sheet.
Writing challenge: Write six sentences about you and a friend. Use I and me correctly, and test each one by taking your friend out.
Pupil target: I can choose I or me.
The PowerPoint
A 20-slide lesson deck for the same lesson: a starter that revisits earlier learning, key words, an I do and a You do question on each slide with a countdown timer, answers that appear one click at a time, and a challenge. Download the i or me PowerPoint.
