I was typing out an email to an old friend and colleague when I ran into the dreaded grammar dilemma or “me” vs “I”. In my writing, I’ve become relatively good with writing things with a reasonable amount of grammatical accuracy based on how the sentence “sounds’ to me. But I am sorry, when it goes time to use a “me” or an “I” especially when I am talking about me going somewhere or doing something with someone else, neither pronoun sounds right to me.

In comes Google and the magic of search. In Google I typed “me and a friend” and the very first link was to an Oxford Dictionary tip that succinctly solved my problem. The bottom line: use the pronoun “I” when its the subject of the verb and use the pronoun “me” when its the object of the verb.
