How do you write me or me

We know that, according to the Spanish accentuation rules, the words of a single syllable or monosyllables should not be accentuated. However, there are some cases in which the tilde has a diacritical value, that is, it serves to differentiate words that are written the same but have a different function or meaning. Therefore, we want to resolve a very common question: how do you write me or me? So you know when to use each of these terms.

Writing "my" without an accent is correct when we refer to:

  • A possessive determinant of the first person of the singular.
  • Name of the musical note.

Examples:

  • My father will bring me a gift from Paris.
  • I can not find my wallet anywhere.
  • The third note of the musical scale is me .
  • I am learning to play in my minor.

my

Likewise, it will also be correct to write "me" with a tilde if you want to refer to the first person personal pronoun of the singular.

This graphic accent on a monosyllabic, which as a rule is never accentuated, has a diacritic function, that is, to avoid confusion with the same unstressed term.

Examples:

  • Grandma has said that this cake is for me .
  • Nobody pays any attention to me !
  • Do not leave without me, wait for me.

It should be noted that the pronoun me preceded by the preposition with becomes: with me, instead of * with me .

Example: Maria will come with me to the party.

How do you write me or me?

In conclusion, it is correct to write me and me according to their function, since both forms exist. To know how to differentiate them, look at:

  • If it accompanies a noun or name, it will be a determinant and will not bear a tilde. Example: my father, my portfolio.
  • If it has value by itself and goes alone, it will be a pronoun and will have a tilde. Example: for me, me, without me.

However, you can see in this article that the same thing does not happen in the case of how you or you are written.
