I and me, a bit of grammar

[CatWoman]

This isn't so much about what your books say, but about how YOU speak and YOUR native speaker intuition. Which would you be more likely to use, regardless of what the books say? And with what meaning?

You're on the right track though, but there's a bit more. The first sentence is ambiguous. Maybe the second is too.

Well, as I said for the first example, I would use them both depending on what I'm trying to say. For the second one, I'd just say I went for a walk with her. Which is another way of saying "I and her went for a walk".

You got more? hehe

There's no point. I'm just wondering how you use language. Do you really say: "You and I should go swimming"? Or are you more tempted to say: "You and me should go swimming"? If so, why?

You can extend the same to the first sentences above. Is "He likes you more than I" used at all? Do you use it? Or would you simply say: "He likes you more than me" to mean both?

isnt it easier to say
WE went for a walk?

no, I would use them both depending on what I mean. But if I mean the first one, I would just continue the sentence with two more words of "like you" and save the person from an unnecessary confusion.

One more:

I was the person with the longest hair.

The people with the longest hair were you and I.
You and I were the people with the longest hair.

Second ones in both sentences, I think.

all i have to say is that the SAT II writing test does NOT think all of those are correct. so if anyone here is still in high school and cant figure out which is right, then he/she better hit the books.
