Hi all. I am an English teacher and have been teaching since 2004. I have always taught my students that 'I' should come after other nouns/pronouns;
eg: My family and I enjoyed the dinner yesterday.
My problem lies henceforth;
I was reading an eulogy written by a respected individual for his mother. I have the utmost respect for the individual and know that he is highly educated in one of the best Universities in the world. In one of the lines that he had written, he used 'I' before 'my family';
Eg: I and my family ...
Is he correct? And if he is, then I am at a lost. Can someone help me with this , please?
Thanks in advance.
