Me vs. I
How do you know when you can use I as an object of a sentence. For instance,
"Bring that book to Garrett or me. Is that correct?
"Karen is better at gof than I am. Is that correct.
Thanks.
"Bring that book to Garrett or me. Is that correct?
"Karen is better at gof than I am. Is that correct.
Thanks.

Both are correct. 'I' can never be used in the objective case, and 'me' can never be used in the subjective case. The subjective case 'I' also appears as a subject complement with linking verbs-- 'It is I' (as does 'me', informally-- 'it is me'); and as a stranded subject-- 'Karen is better at golf than I' (as does 'me', informally-- 'she is better at golf than me').
