What exactly is wrong with that sentence?

[โ€“] s20@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Try this:

The waiter brought drinks to I.

Sounds werid as hell, right? That's what's wrong with that sentence. I is a subjective pronoun, not an objective pronoun. Adding "my friend and" in front of it doesn't change that.

I understand that it doesn't matter to a lot of people, and it doesn't matter for sentence clarity, but it sound weird AF to some folks.
