'Me read the book' is incorrect;
'They told him the company
bought a computer for us' is correct;
'They told he the company
bought a computer for us' is incorrect; and so

The sentence 'Let's keep

I', although both are used.

natural use in colloquial
speech is, 'Robert and her are going on vacation', but the nominative
