When do you use "Me and Kathy" as opposed to "Kathy and I"?

Answer 1

I was taught a simple way to know which is correct. Say the sentence without the other person's name. As in: "Me & Kathy went to the store" becomes: "Me went to the store." Obviously "Me" is incorrect. Another: "It was a secret known only by me & Kathy". Becomes: "It was a secret known only to me". In this case "me" is correct.
This works every time!

Answer 2

You would never say "me and Kathy" as you would never put yourself first in the sentence. You use "Kathy and me" when the phrase is the object of a preposition, such as "He gave the pizza to Kathy and me" or "Bob drove Kathy and me to the mall". You always use "Kathy and I" when the phrase is the subject of the sentence as in "Kathy and I went to the late movie" or "Even though Kathy and I are friends, we had a fight yesterday".

Answer 3

u dont but are times when u say kathty and me.
example( my mom wanted kathy and me to clean the house) and an example of kathy and i(kathy and i went to went to the store to buy candy) an easy way to remeber the diffrence is
when u take out kathy the sentense should still make sense like( my mom wanted ME to clean the house) that sentense whouldnt sound right if u used kathy and I.

Answer 4

The other person's name always comes first, and you are last. As for when to use "me" or "I". Think of it as if Kathy was not part of it, and it is only you. If in the sentence you would use "me" then you use that in the "Kathy and me" part, if in the sentence you would use "I", then it would be "Katy and I". Examples: "I want to go to the movies" So it would be, "Kathy and I want to go to the movies". Or: "She gave the books to me", so it would be, "She gave the books to Kathy and me"..

Answer 5

Never. The way that I do it it take out Kathy to see when you use me or I. For example. "Do you want to go with me to the store?" therefore you would say "Do you want to go with Kathy and me to the store?" OOORR "I am working on a project." therefore you would say "Kathy and I are working on a project."

Answer 6

You use "Me and Kathy" wherever you'd use just "me" if it was just you., as in "They were looking for me and Kathy". Likewise, use "Kathy and I" whenever you'd use just "I" if it was just you, as in "Kathy and I were looking for them", Just don't ever use this as a possessive, as in "Kathy and I's" or "Me and Kathy's", or I'll have to hunt you down and shoot you like the dog you are.

Answer 7

at the end of a prepositional phrase...
she went to the store with me and Kathy.
not
she went to the store with Kathy and I.
test it...take out the Kathy part and see if it sounds right...
she went to the store with me
or
she went to the store with I

Answer 8

never, Kathy and I is using good english

Answer 9

when u say "kathy and i" it's more respectful cuz you don't really go with urself first, but if u say "me and kathy", it's more informal, casual, to a friend.
u see what i mean?

Answer 10

"Me and Kathy" could be used as an object (direct object, indirect object or an object of the preposition), while "Kathy and I" is used as a subject (including as an appositive and subject compliment).
