Which of the following is correct?
It is I.
It is me.
A grammar teacher mentioned to me something about the nominative case being used after the verb “to be” and not the usual objective case (“me”) that I thought it should be. He said the verb “to be” was an exception, but I can’t find anywhere that this is written down as such. Anyone any thoughts?
We (i.e. the creators of Pain in The English) developed a series of iPhone apps to teach preschool kids how to recognize letters and words. (My wife developed the characters and I did the coding.) Our own 4-year old daughter has been enjoying them. They are now available on Apple's App Store. You can search for "bitskis" on your iPhone, or visit the official website at bitskis.com.
If you have kids and own an iPhone, please check it out. It's $2.
I've had such a great time reading your posts! Terribly interesting topic and even crazily funny in certain moments!
"Everyone in our family speaks ungramatically," said I.
"That's we!" said she.
Well, actually "It is I" may be more correct, but actually "It is me" sounds better as domain name (itisme.org).
Thus I use the incorrect case as my domain name, not the correct itisi.org, for aesthetical reasons.
By the way: I found that blog by searching for "It is me" ;-)

I smell flowers, but I am in an office in the warehouse and there are no flowers anywhere near me A strong fragrance of roses especially What does this mean?
what about
It is I who Have chosen this fate
or
It is I who has chosen this fate
which one is correct?
I like "It is I who have chosen this fate" better.
Hi Eve,
"It is I who have chosen this fate" is correct. The relative pronoun "who" stands for the words "I".
In spanish we say:
soy yo – It´s I
"It´s me" is incorrect
what about
It is I who Have chosen this fate
or
It is I who has chosen this fate
which one is correct?
In spanish the second one is correct. You are speaking in 3rd person about yourself.
Interesting…in the hymn 'Here I am Lord', there is a sentence that says "Here I am Lord, it is I Lord, I have heard etc. etc." I don't think it sounds right but after reading this blog, I guess it is grammatically corroec.
