It: It is I who was wrong #1 (permalink) Thu Aug 31, 2006 17:48 pm   It: It is I who was wrong
 

Dear teachers,

Please choose the correct sentences:

1. It is I who was wrong.
2. It is I that was wrong.
3.It is me who was wrong.
4.It is me that was wrong.

Is there a rule?

Hi,

I sometimes think we are the students and you are the teacher.

Why don't you ever commit yourself and say which one you think is correct?
