What I do is take out the "Leslie and" part and see if it makes sense.

Example:
Leslie and I went to the park
or
Leslie and me went to the park.

Take out "Leslie and":
I went to the park. (makes sense)
Me went to the park. (doesn't make sense)

This is how i do it: Use it in a sentence:
1. Leslie and I went to the beach.
- Substitute the I into the sentence. I went to the beach.
- You can't say: Me went to the beach. So you would use Leslie and I.
Another example:
2. My mom bought a cake for Leslie and me.
- If you substitute I into the sentence, it wouldn't make sense.
Hope this helps!

Ok, here's what my grammar teacher taught me to do years ago, it's a good trick and it works...when you have a sentence like "Would you like to go with Leslie and ??? to the movies?" Make believe Leslie is NOT in the sentence...how would you finish it if you were going by yourself? Would you say "Would you like to go with I to the movies?" No, you'd say "Would you like to go with ME to the movies?" So, here the pronoun would be with Leslie and ME.
If you were saying "Leslie and ???? are going to the store." Pretend that Leslie is not in the sentence....would you say "Me are going to the store?" NO! You would say "I am going to the store." So, here the pronoun would be Leslie and "I" are going to the store. So, rule of thumb or the trick is, pretend that Leslie or whoever, i.e., my sister, my brother, whoever.....is not in the sentence....you'll pick the right pronoun. Hope this helps......
