[edit] First person pronouns
Main articles: I and me
[edit] I and me
  • In modern English, me is sometimes used in colloquial speech as the predicative of the copula, occurring when the subject is the speaker. See It is I/It is me for a more detailed discussion.
  • In some dialects of English, such as Caribbean English, me may be used as a subject, in place of I.[citation needed]
[edit] My and mine, thy and thine
Main articles: my, mine, thy, and thine
  • Historically, my comes from a reduction of mine, and well after the emergence of my, mine continued to be used instead of my before words beginning with vowel sounds (e.g., the first line of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”). Similarly with thy and thine.
