It was incorrect ans there will be no "me" form.

Where can we use 'me','my','I am'??
Which is more correct,"I am at home" or "Me at home".

@Anusree.

It is correct! me should be used in place of my. My is used with the objects (either living or non living). Like my pen, my mother, my father, my book, etc. While me is used with an activity. Like "no question of me doing that boring work"! your comments are invited!

My Uncle agree to my going to the party.

@anusree : What about this? This is the correct one.

I think this can be like this " there is no question of my failure in the examination". Isn't it?

Its not true because before gerund pronoun is used only in possessive form so in this sentence no error has occurred.

Where did the 'me' comes from? I think using 'me' in the sentence makes it more incorrect.

Navya said:   1 decade ago
I think me using is right.

The principal objected to their wearing short skirts at the function. Here "to their wearing" is equivalent to "of my failing". So there is no error.

Option D is right answer because the sentence form by these parts of sentences is right. Any one can check it out on google?
