@King.Void I know they have been going back and forth and I felt that PizzaLover123 is getting confused.

Answer 27

Okay. I'll write them out.
Dad asked Joe and I to help put away the dishes.
or

Answer 28

Still it doesn't mean you give out the answer.

Answer 29

@King.Void. Got it!

Answer 30

Direct answers are trouble..

Answer 31

So what's your opinion King? "I" or "me" in the sentence?

Answer 32

First of all...There should be 1 question in this box not two... What one am I looking at??

Answer 33

Dad asked Joe and I to help put away the dishes.
or
Dad asked Joe and me to help put away the dishes.

Answer 34

@EclipsedStar you have to use the objective form because it is in the predicate. You can't use the subjective form of 'I' in the predicate part of the sentence,

When I was small I always used to use "me" but my english teacher told me that I have to use "I" to make it grammatically correct.

When there is a command type of sentence that includes asked or told then the use of "me" comes in handy.
