2021-12-27 11:29:08 YOU AND ME or YOU AND I

These phrases have different grammatical usage.
The main thing you need to remember is that

You and me = us
You and I = we

That means that the first phrase should be used as an object pronoun, while the second one as a subject pronoun.

My mother bought some apples for you and me = My mother bought some apples for us

You and I were good friends at school = We were good friends at school
