When it is subject you will use “I” in your sentence. This would be there nominative case. In the second examples you have used “me”as your direct object and then as your indirect objects, so “me” is correct as it is the objective case that is necessary. <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On May 14, 2019, at 10:00 PM, Marie Gatz via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">I would say you are correct..that is how I learned it in the '80s and '90s.

It was a fun summer of push ups, but my 4 called each other out all the time and we eventually got everyone on board when to use me/I. We got a few looks though with the random places they did push ups...working the grammar and health that summer!</div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1557888719181"><br></div><div id="yMail_cursorElementTracker_1557888428745"><br><div id="ymail_android_signature"><a id="ymail_android_signature_link" href="https://go.onelink.me/107872968?pid=InProduct&c=Global_Internal_YGrowth_AndroidEmailSig__AndroidUsers&af_wl=ym&af_sub1=Internal&af_sub2=Global_YGrowth&af_sub3=EmailSignature">Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android</a></div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;"> <div>On Tue, May 14, 2019 at 9:42 PM, Donna Miner via AISLE</div><div><<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:</div> </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div dir="ltr">Hi, I'm kind of a grammar nut and I need to know if “they” are teaching the I or me wording differently than I learned it back in the 60’s and 70’s.<br></div><div dir="ltr">I learned if you use it in a sentence singularly, you use it with more than one.
