my brothers and I

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use 'my brothers and I' when referring to yourself and your brothers as the subject of a sentence.

Examples:

  • My brothers and I went to the park.
  • My brothers and I are planning a surprise party.
  • The gift was from my brothers and I.
  • My brothers and I are studying for the exam.
  • My brothers and I enjoy playing soccer together.

Alternatives:

  • my siblings and I
  • my brothers and myself
  • my brothers and me
  • my brothers and myself
  • my siblings and me

my brothers and me

This phrase is incorrect. 'Me' should not be used as the subject pronoun.

The correct phrase is 'my brothers and I'. This is because 'I' is used as the subject pronoun, while 'me' is used as the object pronoun. In this case, 'I' is the subject of the sentence, so it should be used instead of 'me'.
