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?

"He and I" can be used in any context in which it would be correct to say "I" alone. To check, drop the word describing the other person. If the sentence still makes sense, you are correct. For example, to check the sentence "He and I went to the store" you drop the "he" and think "I went to the store". This is a correct usage of the word "I". When you check the sentence "My brother and me went to the store" you see that dropping the other person results in the incorrect sentence "Me went to the store"; therefore, you know that it is wrong and "I" should be substituted for "me".

say the sentence with just yourself. Does "me" or "I" fit? As in "I went to the store" not "me went to the store".

Likewise, it is always polite to put other before yourself. Thus, in sentences, others first. As in "He and I went to the store"
