I have struggled with this quite a bit, even as someone pretty advanced in English. It’s been explained to me many times, but nothing is making sense.

Basically, “and I” is used when you’re talking about yourself and others as the subject of a sentence. It’s like saying, “I” am doing something along with other people.
For example: “John and I went to the park.” Here, “John and I” are the ones who went to the park. You’re including yourself as one of the people who did the action.
On the other hand, “and me” is used when you’re talking about yourself and others as the object of a sentence. It’s like saying, someone did something to “me” along with other people.
For example: “She gave the gift to Sarah and me.” Here, “Sarah and me” are the ones who received the gift. You’re including yourself as one of the people who received something.
Remember, if you’re not sure which one to use, you can try removing the other person from the sentence and see how it sounds. If it still makes sense, then you’re using the correct form.
I hope that makes it clearer for you! Let me know if you have any more questions.
