Louise and I???

I visited the clinic + Louise visited the clinic ...

WigWamBam · 10/05/2008 15:21

Think about how it would be if Louise wasn't there ... you wouldn't say "myself visited the clinic", it would be "I visited the clinic". So you use I.

Me and Louise visited the clinic

Louise and I visited the clinic.

No, not "me and Louise". You wouldn't say "Me visited the clinic".

It's definitely "Louise and I".

Agree with the majority, it is 'Louise and I' for the reasons WWB gives - if you took Louise out of the sentence you would use 'I', wouldn't you?

Bridie3 · 10/05/2008 15:23

Without any shadow of a doubt.

Is this clinic-visiting something yu want to publicise on the www?

Janni · 10/05/2008 15:25

Louise and I.

What about "your good self"? That's even more annoying.
