My daughter and I are disagreeing on how and when to use me oar I in a sentance, I swear when I was younger I was taught the way to tell if it were correct was to omit the other person from the sentance to see if it made sence or not...for instance If I said Amandah and I went to the store, that would be correct as oppose to Amandah and me wnt to the store, because If Just I went to the store I would say I went to the store, But if I said Anthony played ball with Amandah and me that would be correct and not Amandah and I because if I ommited Amandah all together I would say Anthony played ball with me not Anthony played ball with I...

Does that make sence and what is Correct or Proper?

Thanks

Shielah

You are correct. Omit the other person and see which one makes sense.
