I’m stealing this excellent answer from Grammarly:
Is it me or I?
Remove the other noun and say the sentence aloud. If it sounds wrong, then switch the pronoun.
Correct: “Did you invite Billy and me?”
Explanation: “Did you invite Billy?” “Did you invite me?“” They both sound correct, so me is correct.
Correct: “Should Billy and I go to the store?”
Explanation: “Should Billy go to the store?” “Should I go to the store?” Again, they both sound correct, so I is correct.
Incorrect: “Sally and me sent gifts.”
Explanation: “Sally sent gifts.” “Me sent gifts.” “Me sent gifts” doesn’t sound right, so substitute I:
“Sally and I sent gifts.”
me. I.
