"too" and "also"

Hi,

What would be the main difference between "too" and "also"? Are they just synonyms or are they used on different situations? I have the same question regarding "I" and "me", I've seen phrases like "me and my friends" or "you and I". Which would be the correct way to use these words?

Thanks!

Too and also have the same meaning. Also is more forceful or empahtic. Also can be used as the first word in a phrase or sentence, and too cannot.
Me is objective never subjective. P.E. He gave me the book. (never, He gave I the book) I is always subjective. A correct example would be , I gave him the book. The word you is easier because it is both subjective and objective."me and my friends" is gramatically incorrect if it is used as the subject of the sentence, but easily understood. The correct way to say the phrase is "my friends and I"if it is the subject of the sentence. P.E. MY FRIENDS AND i WENT TO A PARTY. If "if my friends and I "are the object of the sentence, the pronoun changes. P.E. SALLY INVITED ME AND MY FRIENDS TO A PARTY. It's important to learn correct pronoun usage. Although you will be understood using incorrect pronouns, some people will judge you as being ignorant.
