Emotions & feelings
be part of someone
shape someone's identity
To be an important and lasting part of someone's identity, memories, or life.
Hear it in real life
Do you still miss living abroad?
Yes, that experience is part of who I am now.
The years I spent in Hanoi will always be part of me.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: That experience is part of me who I am now.
Say: That experience is part of who I am now.
Use “part of who I am” directly; do not add “me” before the identity clause.
