Dealing with pronouns

“You can tell him...."

"Me tell him?”

Is this structure appropriate? Why / why not?

“Me” is usually an object pronoun. I would say that the structure is inappropriate, because “Me” is an object pronoun and here a subject pronoun should be used, in my opinion (i.e. “I”).


Solution 1:

You're right that "me" is an object pronoun. The correct way to respond to "You can tell him..." is: "I tell him?" However, the average English speaker does not always follow this rule in general conversation.
