Q&A: Learn “I” and “You”

Q1. When should I use “I”?

Example: “___ am Sam.” → Sam is talking about himself, so we write I.

Q2. When should I use “You”?
A2. Use “You” when you are talking to someone else.
Example: “___ are my friend.” → Sam is talking to his friend, so we write You.

Q3. Can “I” and “You” be used in the same sentence?
A3. Yes! Example: “___ am Sam and ___ are my friend.”
Here, Sam is talking about himself (I) and his friend (You).

Q4. How can I remember the difference?
