Paul and I is correct depending upon the context. It is incorrect to say "The forms were sent to Paul and I," because the forms were not sent to "I," they were sent to "me." In this case you would say, "The forms were sent to Paul and me."

This is one of the most common mistakes people make, and you hear it even from people who consider themselves literate. The best guideline you can use is to eliminate (in your mind) the other person from the sentence. "Paul and me think the same way," is incorrect, because you would not say, "Me think the same way"; you would say, "I think the same way." And because you always put yourself last, you would say, "Paul and I think the same way." But you would not say Paul gave his way of thinking to my wife and I." You would say, "Paul gave his way of thinking to my wife and me." See?

Read the following sentence and choose the correct possessive pronoun or pronouns to complete it-robin and paul will drive what car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up?

Robin and Paul will drive what car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up.The pronoun that will replace the word 'what' is a possessive adjective, a word placed before a noun (car) to describe that noun as belonging to the antecedent(s).The difficulty in choosing the correct pronoun is that we don't know if the car is jointly owned by Robin and Paul. In that case, the correct possessive adjective is:Robin and Paul will drive their car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up.We don't know if it's owned by Robin or Paul. If Robin and Paul are both males, the singular, possessive adjective will create a 'vague pronoun-antecedent reference'.Robin and Paul will drive his car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up.To correct the vague pronoun-antecedent reference, the sentence will need rewording using a possessive noun: Robin and Paul will drive Robin's car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up. (or 'will drive in Paul's car)The last option is that Robin is a female and Paul is a male. This will make the pronoun choice a little simpler:Robin and Paul will drive her car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up.Robin and Paul will drive his car to the airport and leave it for you to pick up.

Is it Paul and me are going to a concert or Paul and I are going to a concert?

The correct phrase is "Paul and I are going to a concert." When using pronouns in a compound subject, you should use the subject pronoun "I" instead of the object pronoun "me." A simple way to remember this is to remove the other person's name and check if the sentence still sounds correct: "I am going to a concert" is correct, while "me am going to a concert" is not.
