Best Answer

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?

In "proper" English grammar when you speak of yourself and another person, you say the other person's name first as a matter of respect. In casual English this rule is often ignored.
