When to use "Me or I"

Okay, I have been seeing it way too much lately, when someone is trying to speak correctly, and they use "I" everytime. So, this is how I teach my kids when to use "me or I".

Ask yourself, "Does it sound right when I take the other person out of the sentence?"

Example #1 : "Toby and me want to go with you." "Me want to go with you." NO
"Toby and I want to go with you." "I want to go with you." YES

Example #2 : "Will you go with Toby and I?" "Will you go with I?" NO
"Will you go with Toby and me?" "Will you go with me?" YES

I hope this helps!
