It ill beseemes a knight of gentle sort, / Such as ye haue him boasted, to beguile / A simple mayd, and worke so haynous tort, / In shame of knighthood, asI largely can report.
The wordI is always capitalised in written English. Other forms of the pronoun, such asme andmy, follow regular English capitalisation rules.
I is the subject (nominative) form, as opposed tome, which is the objective (accusative and dative) form.Me is also used emphatically, like Frenchmoi. In some cases there are differing views about which is preferred. For example, the traditional rule followed by some speakers is to useI as the complement of the copula (It is I), but it is now more usual to chooseme in this context (It's me).
When used in lists, it is often thought more polite to refer to self last. Thus it is more natural to sayJohn and I thanI and John. In such lists, we generally use the same case form which we would choose if there were only one pronoun; since we sayI am happy, we sayJohn and I are happy, but we sayJenny saw me, so we sayJenny saw John and me. However, colloquially one might hearJohn and me are happy, which is traditionally seen as a case error. As ahypercorrected reaction to this, one can occasionally hear phrases likeJenny saw John and I.

Men det er ikke jeres skyld, siger Ditte.I er unge og kloge.I er grimme og fantastisk smukke.I har modet!I er på rette vej med jeres show. Jeg føler med jeres oprør, og måske derfor kunne jeg ikke klare mere. Jeres hud er glat,I er startet i tide.
But it is not your fault, Ditte says.You are young and intelligent.You are ugly and amazingly beautiful.You have the courage!You are on the right path with your show. I feel with your rebellion, and perhaps for that reason, I couldn't take any more. Your skin is smooth,you started in time.

And a little later ”you have heard it said: an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you,you may not resist evil; but if anyone hits you on the right cheek, turn the other towards [whoever hit you]! ...
