John and I vs. John and me

As kids, we're taught that "me" is usually wrong, as in "John and me went to the park." But "I" is often wrong, too. Use it only when it's the subject of a verb, for example when you both went (verb) to the park. When it's the object, use me: "Come to the park with John and me."
