Which one is right? I heard people saying differently but I don't know which one is gramtically right.

"I" and "me" always come last. "You and I" and "you and me" both work. It depends on the sentence though. The easiest way to know which to use is to change the sentence so that the noun is only yourself. If it works with "I" then it is "you and I," not "you and me."
ie:
I go to the store.
You and I go to the store.
They gave me a gift.
They gave you and me a gift.

As the subject of a sentence it would be "you and I." As the object, probably in a prepositional phrase, it would be "you and me." Like this: "You and I should stop for these people."
and "These people will stop for you and me." (the word 'for' is the preposition)
You can often gauge it by where it comes in the sentence, whether it's beginning the sentence or ending it, but know that "you and I" are subjects, a funny word to mean the reason for the sentence to begin, the ones that will do the action, the verb... and "you and me" are objects, the ones that the action is done to or with (another preposition...), objects of some action.
I hope that didn't mess with your head at all! In fact I hope it helps. Luck...

You and I would be used as the subject of a sentence. For example;
You and I will take a walk.
The pronoun Me can only be used as the object of a sentence. For example:
Yahoo will send letters to you and me.

The way you can always tell which one is correct is to omit the words "You and" in the sentence and see how it looks/sounds without it.
Example:
You and I went to the fair.
(Omit You and) = I went to the fair. Correct
You and me went to the fair.
(Omit You and) = Me went to the fair. Not Correct
He took you and me with him.
(Omit you and) = He took me with him. Correct
(Omit you and) = He took I with him. Not correct.

If you are starting the sentence, say "you and I" but if it is at the end of the sentence you should say "you and me."

If you want to use it in the predicate of a sentence, you'd use "You and me". If in the subject, you'd use "You and I".
