key idea

I is a subject pronoun. You can use it as the subject of a sentence or clause. It tells that the speaker is doing something, and it is usually at the beginning of the sentence.

After finishing the experiment, I showed my teacher the results.

The subject pronoun I is the subject of the sentence.

Me is an object pronoun. You can use it after an action verb. You can also use it after a preposition (like at, for, of, to, or with).

After finishing the experiment, my teacher showed me the results.

The object pronoun me is used after an action verb, showed.

My teacher showed the results to me.

The object pronoun me is used after a preposition, to.

When a pronoun is connected to a noun with the word and (like Rick and I or Rick and me), it can be hard to tell which pronoun is correct. To tell which one is correct, look at the sentence without the other noun.

Rick and I discussed the results with the teacher.

I discussed the results with the teacher.

I is used as the subject of the sentence.

The teacher discussed the results with Rick and me.

The teacher discussed the results with me.

Me is used after the preposition, with.

solution

For the talent show, Julie and ___ will sing a duet.

Look at the sentence without the other noun, Julie.

For the talent show, ___ will sing a duet.

The missing pronoun is the subject of the sentence. So, you should use the subject pronoun, I.
