they themPeter andI are going shopping.There are two subjects in this sentence – ‘Peter’ and ‘I’. If
you remove ‘Peter’, you will know that ‘I’ is the correct
pronoun. It would not be:
Peter andme are going shopping.
You would not say, ‘Me is going shopping.’However if the pronoun is used as an object, it is different.The audience liked my partner andme.‘My partner and me’ are the objects of the sentence so in this
case the pronoun is ‘me’. Remove ‘my partner’ and you will
realise why. You would not say: The audience likedI.
