Question

Should I say "The students and I" or "The students and me" in a sentence?

Answer 1

You should say "The students and I" when the phrase is the subject of the sentence. For example: "The students and I are going to the library."

However, you would use "The students and me" when it is the object of the sentence. For example: "The teacher asked the students and me to stay after class."

A good tip to determine which one to use is to remove "the students and" from the sentence and see if "I" or "me" fits correctly.
