Do you get confused over the use of “I” and “me” after other nouns or pronouns?

‘I’ refers to the person performing the action of a verb.

• I want to go.
• This is the one I like.
• You and I need to get ready.
• Tom and I are going to the movies.

‘Me’ refers to the person that the action of a verb is being done to, or to which a preposition refers.

• David told me to leave.
• He gave me ten dollars.
• Between you and me, this is a bad idea.
• She needs to talk to Joe or me.

Some confusion usually occurs when you have I/me connected to another pronoun or name with “and” or “or.” Try out the sentence with just I or me

• He told Tom and (I or me?) to get ready.
• He told I to get ready? NO
• He told me to get ready? YES

• If John and (I or me?) get married, we’ll have two kids.
• If me get married? NO
• If I get married? YES

Therefore, If John and I get married, we’ll have two kids.
