Prescriptively (what you learn as a non-native speaker) - yes Descriptively - not necessarily, as the subjunctive in English is pretty much dead except in certain expressions. 俺の勝利は揺るぎない Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,621 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I remember someone making this thread in 2011 when she started playing You and I They said she learned to correct her grammar from "You and me could write a bad romance" (take away the 'you and' and see that "Me could write a bad romance" is obviously wrong) to "I'd rather die without you and I" (which is also wrong because, again, if you take away the 'you and' youre left with "I'd rather die without I" which is clearly wrong) So she corrected herself... but her grammar was wrong again Pretty funny but I totally understand that rhyming and rhythm and phonetics are all more important than proper grammar in songwriting.

A lot of teachers taught me to say "if I were" instead of "if I was" in hypothetical sentences. The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!
