[rajesh kumar]

which sentence is correct?

it's me
or
it's i

please kindly help me.

[redset]

The subject is it, so you need to use the object form which is me.

[rajesh kumar]

but it is wrong to say
"it's her"
in this sentence the object form has been used but it is grammatically wrong and it should be
"it's she"

[CP]

The verb to be acts like an equals sign, so the predicate should be in the same case as the subject. Here, the subject is it, acting as a sort of place holder.

Correct:

It is I. It is you. It is he. It is she. It is we. It is you. It is they.

Still, in casual conversation, most people would say, "It is me / It's me."
