"I" did.

'I' is also objectified. Putting it in language as the first person does not automatically make it subjective.

Putting it in language as the first person does not automatically make it subjective.

"I" is the subject of the sentence, "I did." Did is the verb, past tense of "to do." Plus as I'm sure you're aware RightWhale, the first-person pronoun is often taken to be synonymous with the idea of a "self," ego, or soul....
