Not I would be correct grammar.
Here’s a poem to help remember the proper use of "not I"…
Little Red Hen
There once was a little red hen who lived on a farm. The hen’s friends were a little black dog, a big orange cat, and a little yellow goose. One day, the red hen found some grains of wheat. "I can make bread from this," thought the red hen.
The little red hen asked, "Who will help me plant the wheat?"
"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. And she planted the wheat without any help at all.
The little red hen asked, "Who will help me cut the wheat?"
"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.
"Then I will do it myself," said the little red hen. And she cut the wheat without any help at all.
The tired little red hen asked, "Who will help me take the wheat to the mill and grind it into flour?"
"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.
"Then I will do it myself," said the tired little red hen. So she took the wheat to the mill and ground it into flour without any help at all.
The very, very tired little red hen asked, "Who will help me bake the bread?"
"Not I," said the little black dog.
"Not I," said the big orange cat.
"Not I," said the little yellow goose.
"Then I will do it myself," said the very, very tired little red hen. And she baked the bread without any help at all.
The hot, fresh bread smelled very good. The little red hen asked, "Now, who will help me eat this bread?"
"I will!" said the little black dog.
"I will!" said the big orange cat.
"I will!" said the little yellow goose.
"No, you won’t! I will do it myself!" yelled the little red hen. And she ate the bread without any help at all.
viskas ok, tik nepamirsk, kad in passive kaiciasi veiksnys kadangi siuo atveju tai plural - the teeth, tai ir verb automatiskai turi keistis
taigi-> the teeth are being checked
na nezinau nezinau, taciau Anglijoj gyvenu jau 2 metus, o dar pries tai kokius 2 metus labai daug kur vazinejaus i uzsienius ir ne karto negirdejau, jog kazkas is uzsienieciu sakytu "NOT I"
Pronouns that show POSSESSION
my (mine), your (yours), his, her (hers), it (its), our (ours), their (theirs), whose
The pronouns THIS, THAT, THESE, THOSE, and WHICH do not change form.
Some problems of case:
In compound structures, where there are two pronouns or a noun and a pronoun, drop the other noun for a moment. Then you can see which case you want.
NOT: Bob and me travel a good deal.
(Would you say, "me travel"?)
NOT: He gave the flowers to Jane and I.
(Would you say, "he gave the flowers to I"?)
NOT: Us men like the coach.
(Would you say, "us like the coach"?)
In comparisons. Comparisons usually follow than or as:
He is taller than I (am tall).
This helps you as much as (it helps) me.
She is as noisy as I (am).
Comparisons are really shorthand sentences which usually omit words, such as those in the parentheses in the sentences above. If you complete the comparison in your head, you can choose the correct case for the pronoun.
NOT: He is taller than me.
(Would you say, "than me am tall"?)
In formal and semiformal writing:
Use the subjective form after a form of the verb to be.
FORMAL: It is I.
INFORMAL: It is me.
Use whom in the objective case.
FORMAL: To whom am I talking?
INFORMAL: Who am I talking to?
gal kas nors žino, ką reiškia "skidden on john" ir "shut it". susipažinau internete su mažvaikiais škotais, kurie nuolat vartoja tuos išsireiškimus o iš jų paaiškinimų man tik dar neaiškiau…
