Imperatives and pronouns

Hi,

Is it possible to use 'I' in the following sentence:

Tell Jack and I when the work is done.

or must I only use 'me' because it is an indirect object pronoun?

Thx

Fuerther, welcome to the forums.

Would you say "Tell I when the work is done?" No, you'd say "tell me."

So, Tell Jack and me when the work is done.

If you placed yourself first, you would say, 'Tell me and Jack when the work is done', wouldn't you?
