Here's why:
* Subject vs. Object: You need to determine if "Wayne and me" are the subject of the sentence (performing the action) or the object (receiving the action).
* "I" vs. "Me": "I" is used for subjects, and "me" is used for objects.
Here are some examples:
Correct:
* Wayne and I went to the store. (Subject: "Wayne and I" are doing the action of going)
* The teacher gave the book to Wayne and me. (Object: "Wayne and me" are receiving the book)
Incorrect:
* Wayne and me went to the store. (Incorrect because "me" is an object pronoun and should be used in the object position)
* The teacher gave the book to Wayne and I. (Incorrect because "I" is a subject pronoun and should be used in the subject position)
To test it:
An easy way to figure out if you should use "I" or "me" is to remove "Wayne" from the sentence. For example:
* "I" went to the store. (Correct)
* The teacher gave the book to "me". (Correct)
