Grammar help: me or I?

I'm not proficient at being grammatically correct, but I do have one grammar tip that I learned in one of my FAVORITE classes at BYU (mcomm 320) that I'd like to share with you.

How do you know when to use 'me' or 'I' when you are including yourself in an activity such as in the sentence, 'Greg and I went to the store'?

The best way that has helped me is by just talking about myself instead of what I did with my companion. For instance, is the sentence grammatically correct when I say 'Me went to the store' or when I say 'I went to the store'?

(The difference between sounding like a caveman and sounding sophisticated and well-spoken is a thin line.)


I know I oversimplified, but I hope this helps.
