If there is a preposition in front of the pronoun used to describe yourself ("I" or "me"), use me. For instance, "Give the cookie to me". (You wouldn't say "Give the cookie to I.") Also, when listing people along with yourself, use "I". For example, "Kelly and I ate cookies." You can remember this by imagining the "Kelly and" part of the sentence disappearing. You wouldn't say "Me ate cookies" (unless you're Cookie Monster). Make sense? Always use "I" at the beginning of a sentence. At the end of a sentence it's tricky. If you can add "am or "do" after the word "I", than it's probably "I" and not me. "He is fatter than I."- sounds funny, but am can be omitted ("He is fatter than I am.").

Listen to this now, "She wants the baby more than me." Sounds right but it implies that she prefers the baby doll over preferring me, so you would use the sentence "She wants the baby more than I" - which means she wants the baby doll more than I want the baby doll. Hope that helps.

If you can drop one part of the sentence and the sentence still sounds correct, such as:

"My mother and I went to the store." You wouldn't say "Me went to the store."

"John went with me to the store." You wouldn't say "John went with I to the store."
