Hello,
I've noticed that in certain contexts in English, the tendency is to leave the "I" to the end.
Say, when someone speaks he/she would say:
My dad and I went to the zoo.
Is this is done because it is impolite to put one self before others? Or is that because of grammatical reasons?
Can't we say:
I and dad?
Me and dad?
And why some people say:
Dad and myself went to the zoo?
Does this imply that says "dad and I" is wrong in the first place?
Thanks.
