hello everyone
L'exo N° 130149 It is .../ It was ..
Could you, please, explain these sentences
I don't understand why we use HIM, HER, US... pronom personnel complément
whereas we use I ( pronom personnel sujet ) instead of ME
I have to promote the project. It is I who has to promote the project. why not ME?
She didn't do the job well. It was her who didn't do the job well.
He came too late. -> It was him who came too late.
We put in a lot of effort in the project. It was us who put in a lot of effort into the project.
I tidied up the room, not my sister. -> It was I who tidied up the room, not my sister. Why not ME?
Thanks a lot

Bonjour
Cette demande me rappelle le langage populaire de Manchester où l'on disait :
It was ME did it à la place de : I did it, I accentué pour dire : C'est moi qui l'ai fait !
C'est un peu comme les compléments de comparatif : He is better than I am devenant he is better than me.
Effectivement, le I noble semble avoir survécu dans it was I who did it mais me est très utilisé en langue populaire. L'accusatif l'a emporté aux autres personnes, je ne sais pas pour quelle raison grammaticale. L'usage sans doute.

Merci Gérondif
Si j'ai bien compris, les 2 sont acceptés dans le langage courant (I or ME)
Mais dans l'écrit formel doit-on écrire :
It was I who tidied up the room, not my sister or
It was me who tidied the room, not my sister
Une langue vivante évolue mais si l'on passe un examen à l'écrit, est ce mieux I or ME?
Thanks a lot
