Explanation

Me is a word used to talk about yourself when someone is doing something to you. You use it as the object of a verb (the receiver of an action) or the object of a preposition (after words like to, for, with, by). For example, “She gave me a book” (here me is used as object of a verb), or “This book is for me” (here me is used as object of a preposition). It always refers to the person speaking. It is a pronoun, and it cannot be used as the subject of a sentence (“I” is used as the subject instead). You use “me” when someone is doing something to you or when you are the receiver of an action.
