Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • We is typically used as the subject of a sentence, meaning it is the one performing the action.
  • Us is used as the object of a sentence, meaning it receives the action.
  • To test which one to use, try removing the other subject in your sentence; if it still makes sense, you probably used the right word.
  • Remember that us never starts a sentence, while we often can.
  • We often comes in combination with another pronoun or noun, such as we students, while us follows prepositions like between us.
