Should I put myself last?
I get this mixed up so often. Should I say:
Me and Rob are going swimming.
or
I and Rob are going swimming.
I know the latter sounds REALLY awkward and I'd probably never say it that way but
Rob and I are going swimming.
sound perfectly fine (confusing because Rob and I aren't grammatically different here).
In the original sentence both I and Rob are the subject, so why use the accusative me?
Also why do we say:
She and Rob are going swimming.
but not:
I and Rob are going swimming.
?
