Naku walked to the bar. "May I please have a drink." He had said.
"May I please have a drink, he had said." (all one sentence...just use a comma after drink, not a period there.)
Although....it seems a little awkward to put the "had" in there, but it's not incorrect. I'd just leave it like, "May I please have a drink," he said.
Yeah Cricket.... He and I. The way you can tell, is to leave out the other person and try out the sentence, like Grammy showed. You wouldn't say, "Him went out." And you wouldn't say, "Me went out." Therefore, you don't say, "Him and me went out." It is in fact, "He and I went out." (He went out) (I went out) LOL. Actually, I haven't gone out with anyone for a long time.
Here's another thing...the I vs. me: John came with Mary and I to the store. (incorrect) It should be: John came with Mary and me to the store. Leave off one of the names. Would you say, John came with I to the store? No...you'd say, "John came with me to the store." But, if you say something like, "John, Mary and I went to the store" that is correct.
I went to the store. You wouldn't say,
Me went to the store. It's to do with who or what is the object or indirect object and who is the subject.
DIRECT vs. INDIRECT OBJECT
An object is a noun that is the recipient of the verb in the sentence. It's easier to demonstrate than to explain:
Xena grabbed her sword.
Xena is the subject, because she performs the verb. "Grabbed" is the verb; "her" is a possessive pronoun; the sword is the direct object because the grabbing is performed upon it.
Xena put her sword on the table.
Xena is the subject; "put" is the verb; the sword is the direct object; the table is the indirect object.
Grammar to me is fun...it's like a puzzle. Of course, I screw it up all the time. But I still am interested in it and like to figure things out when I'm not in such a hurry to write posts on Chaz. LOL.
Oh, and double negatives are not all wrong. That example about
not being unkind (or whatever it was...I forget for sure) is not wrong... like saying, "I don't have nothing." It is a variation on the idea that someone is kind. But it takes on a slightly different meaning, doesn't it. It's like maybe the person isn't exactly going to make you jump for joy, he's so kind, but on the other hand, isn't exactly
unkind either. LOL. So, I don't think that kind of double negative is wrong. It just adds more flavor to something.
