Choose the sentence that uses correct pronoun case.

• A. Between you and me, this is our plan.
• B. Between you and I, this is our plan.
• C. This plan is between me and you.
• D. Between I and you, this is our plan.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is pronoun case after a preposition. When a pronoun comes after a preposition like between, it should be in the object form. In this phrase, you remains the same in both subjective and objective forms, and me is the correct object form to go after the preposition. Placing the introductory prepositional phrase before the main clause and separating it with a comma is also standard punctuation, so the sentence reads clearly and sounds natural.

Using the pronoun I after a preposition is not correct in standard usage, since I is the subjective form and should be used only where the subject of a clause or a linking-verb complement would be. The option with an unusual order of the pronouns (me and you) is less natural in this common construction, and the form with I after the preposition is the clearest signal that the pronoun case is incorrect.
