Thanks! No. 1 _ sorry, didn't catch your name before I replied--I always thought so too but when it gets down to grammar, I think it's the other way. I have always said jane and i. Oh, boy, this should be such an easy question.

Okay, school's out for now. We were right! But we knew that didn't we? Thank you to all. I made a 100 on that, a 90 on Pronoun Reference and a 60 on Pronoun-Antecendent Agreement- I wonder why???? What the heck is that, never heard of it before and both sentences sounded equally right.

correction, Antecedent, still, whatever that is!

Here's one for math, then. If I made a 100 on the first, 90 on the second and 60 on the last one, what's the average grade and would it be an A, B or C grade?

It depends. The way I always figure out which to use is I drop the name.
For example....
Give that to Jane and me. (correct because "give that to me" and not "give that to I")
Jane and I want to go. (correct because "I want to go" not "me want to go")
It would be an 83.33% or a B

Both are right depending on context. For example if someone was giving you both something you could say
"Peter gave Jane and me a lift home in his new car.".
This is because if you were alone and missed out the words 'Jane and' the sentence would still make sense by being
"Peter gave me a lift home in his new car."
If, however, you and Jane were doing something you might say
"Jane and I went to the park."
Again, miss out the words 'Jane and' and the sentence would be
"I went to the park."
Try switching 'me' and 'I' in the sentences that are left and you would get:-
"Peter gave I a lift home in his new car." and
"Me went to the park."
and you can see that they're wrong. That's the test so it should be easy to get it right.

It depends on how you use it. You would use "Janie and I" . For example- "Janie and I went to the movies." Eliminate "Janie" and you would get this sentence- "I went to the movies." That makes sense. If you did "Janie and me go to the movies.", and you eliminate "Janie", you'll get "Me went to the movies.", that would not make sense at all.
However you DO use "Janie and me" in some cases. For example- "Do you want me and Janie to help you?" In this you use "me and Janie", not "Janie and me". That makes more sense than "Do Janie and me to help you?", doesn't it? I don't know if there really are "Janie and me" sentences.

Depends on how you use it in the sentence. If you would use "I', use "jane and I"--if you would use "me" use "Jane and me."
