The pronoun I should therefore
be in the objective case, and the sentence should be, "Between you and
me, that picture is very faulty."
"The president of the meeting appointed you and I upon the committee."

objective as in the nominative is, therefore, correct, but I should be

"The teacher selected he and I to represent the class." The pronouns
are the objects of the verb selected, and should be changed to him and

subject, and, therefore, does not control the case of the pronouns.

the verb; as, "Did you go to town?" "Will he sail to-day?" "Has your
uncle arrived?" "Hearest thou thy mother's call?"
The object or attribute of the verb, when a pronoun, is often used to
introduce the sentence. "Who should I see coming toward me but my old
friend?" Who should be whom, for it is the object, and not the
subject, of the verb should see.
