How is the sentence below correctly written? Me and him offered to purchase five boxes of cookies to help raise money for the Girl Scouts.

ItzDanger:

Him and I offered to purchase five boxes of cookies to raise money for the Girl Scouts.

ItzDanger:

Instead of me and him, its him and I

Vocaloid:

"Me" and "him are object pronouns. However, since they're being used as the subject of the sentence, they need to be changed to the subject pronouns "He" and I".

Oh sorry vocaloid, But can "him and I" still work with the sentence?

Vocaloid:

Him as the subject is incorrect. Consider "Him" by itself. Him offered to purchase five boxes of cookies to help raise money for the Girl Scouts. This is incorrect, because Him is the subject of the sentence. The logic doesn't change when "I" is added.
