Should you say dad and me or dad and I?

It depends on how it is being used in the sentence. If it is being used as the noun, you say "Dad and I," but if you are using it after the verb you say "dad and me." The "test" for this is whether you would say I or me if your dad was not involved. For example, you would say "I went to the store," so you would say "Dad and I went to the store." On the other hand, you would say "Mom picked me up at the store," so you would say "Mom picked dad and me up from the store."


Should you write Robert and me or Robert and I?

It depends on the rest of the sentence. Take out the words "Jimmy and I" and say the sentence using both 'me' and 'I'. Which makes sense? For example, let's say the sentence is, "Jimmy and I went to the store." Take out the "Jimmy and I" and you are left with either "I went to the store" or "Me went to the store." Obviously, "I went to the store" is correct. You would not say, "Me went to the store." Therefore, in this example, the proper usage would be, "Jimmy and I went to the store." But if the sentence was, "She is coming with Jimmy and me." Take out the "Jimmy and me" and you are left with either "She is coming with I" or "She is coming with me." In this case, "She is coming with me" is correct. Therefore, in this example, "She is coming with Jimmy and me" would be the correct usage.

Proper grammar first name and you?

Yes, the others names always come before I (the subject) or me (the object).Proper: James and I are going to the movie.Improper: I and James are going to the movie.Proper: Mom made some cookies for James and me.Improper: Mom made some cookies for me and James.Additional Information:Example: "Fred and I went to the Store."Example: "Fred, Henry and I went to a party."Now, when there are words before it, you say, and me.Correct: "The baskteball belongs to Anna and me."Correct: "Anna and I own the basketball."Incorrect: "The baskteball belongs to Anna and I."Incorrect: "Anna and me own the basketball."When in doubt, cover up the person/person's name and see if the sentence makes sense.Example: "Fred and I went to the store." Disregard "Fred and". Does the sentence make sense? "I went to the store."What about this? "The baskteball belongs to Anna and I." Disregard 'Anna and'. "The basketball belongs to I." Does that make sense?

Should you use she or her in the sentence Mike and she went to the store?

"She and Mike went to the store" since "she" is a subject pronoun. "Her" is a possessive pronoun, and there is no possession in this sentence. However, the proper way to say it is "Mike and Jane went to the store" (if her name is Jane): always use a person's name initially if possible.


When do you say he and I?

A general working rule is to remove the 'other person'. The sentence, 'You and I went to town' should make just as much sense when you remove the 'you': 'I went to town'. If you had said, 'You and me went to town' then you would be left with, 'Me went to town,' which is obviously wrong! What about this: 'He brought cake for you and me' 'He brought cake for me' which is correct. 'He brought cake for you and I' 'He brought cake for I'. is incorrect. Make sense?
