It's I. Me is the object of a preposition, I is not. One way to tell, as in the sample sentence, is to delete Sally. Would you say I took turns or me took turns...

It is supposed to be "I". "I" is a subject pronoun. "me" can never be the subject noun of a sentence. You would never say "me did the dishes," would you? "Me" can only be used as a direct object, indirect object, or object of the preposition. i.e. "Sally did the dishes for me." in that sentence "me" is the object of the preposition "for". you wouldnt say "Sally did the dishes for I" because "I" can only be the subject of the sentence. Hope this helps!

I.
You can figure out if it should be "I" or "me" by taking out the other person and just saying the sentence as it is. "Me took turns washing the dishes" sounds awful. "I took turns washing the dishes" is better, though not the best grammar.

Sally it's a noun u put I (which replace u'r name)

She and ..."she" here is pronoun u put Me (pronoun of you)

when you use I its always after someone elses name, me is if your the first person in the sentance...eg me and Tom went to the pool or Tom and I went to the pool, both ways are correct but for your sentance it is I. Hope this helped

'I' is correct. But in America you will hear the spoken english as 'me' a lot of times. It is incorrect, but still, it is used commonly.

It's "I" when it's the subject; "me" when it's the direct object or object of a preposition.
