- It is me who am to blame.
- It is I who am to blame.
Which one is correct here?
I am bewildered about these two sentences.
Answer
You have got to remember one rule:
When who refers to a personal pronoun (I, you, he, she, we, they), it takes the verb that agrees with that pronoun.(See Source)
Examples :
It is I who am sorry.(I am sorry)
It is you who are responsible.(You are responsible)
It is we who are winning the bet.(We are winning the bet)
It is they who have been watching TV since morning.(They have been watching TV since morning)
Considering the above material:
Correct : It is I who am to blame.(I am to blame)
Incorrect : It is I who is to blame. (I is to blame doesn't make sense)
