They are both a first-person pronoun (oneself, the speaker),

but I is the nominative (subject) form and me is the objective form.

When one is performing an action, or being described, the nominative form is used.

Examples : I am tired. I went to sleep. I do not agree.

When one is the object of an action, or the recipient, or the object of a preposition, the objective form is used.

Examples : She hit me. He tired me out. That was too much for me. He did not agree with me.

*Confusion oftens exists over the use of I and mewhen a linking verb is used, or a comparison is made. Some style books suggest this is an exception to the rule, but most do not agree. In any case, the correct form may seldom be used in normal conversation.

Examples:

"Who spilled the water on the floor?"

"It was I." (correct)

"It was me" (usually used)

"She is taller than I." (correct - because the implication is "than I am tall")

"She is taller than me." (usually used colloquially)

Use "I" when it is the subject of a sentence, i.e., when it is performing the action. Use "me" when it is the object of a sentence, i.e., when it is receiving the action. Example: "I am going to the store" vs. "She gave the book to me."
