1. It was me that/who salted the earth around your flower deck (which sounds less formal) Both are correct, but because it's a test/question in a grammar book, and grammar books usually prefer the formal alternative, I think it wants this as the answer.

2. Sep 10,  · 'Woe Is Me' Versus 'Woe Is I' I also have to add a note about the phrase “Woe is me.” Back in , Jan Freeman pointed out in her Boston Globe column that “Woe is me” is an entirely different kind of sentence from “It is me.”.

3. Me is usually an object pronoun. In most cases this means it’s on the receiving end of the action in a sentence. For example, “My sister gave me the book,” where the speaker is the recipient of the giving. The use of me in the phrase it’s me isn’t typical usage of the pronoun, since there is no action to receive.

5. If you're still confused let me say this real plain It was Me (it was Me) It was Me (it was Me) I'm the One you left back there at Calvary It was Me Who do you think hung the stars in the sky? Who do you think made the day and the night? Who made the flowers? Who made the trees? Who made the sun and the moon and the seas? Who gives life to all.

6. If you are using me/I as a subject, then use "I". If you are using it as an object, then use "me". Some examples: 1. It was me. Here "it" is subject and "me" is object. 2. It was me, the captain of my school's sports team. Here again "me".

8. "If it were me" is the common usage, though grammatically it is wrong. Many other examples of this kind of confusion, in which "everyone" uses a particular phrase wrongly, could be found. For example, when answering the phone, to say, "This is he" rather than "This is him," when someone has asked for me in particular, took me a while to get.
