Discover LudwigThe phrase "instead me" is not correct and cannot be used in written English.
It is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in a sentence. Instead of me, you should use "instead of me" or "instead, me." These are prepositional phrases that can be used to show substitution or preference. Example: "He chose the red shirt instead of me." In this sentence, the person is choosing the red shirt instead of choosing the speaker. Example: "Instead, me and my friends decided to go to the beach." In this sentence, the speaker is explaining a decision they made instead of another option.
