Ways to tell them apart:
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
.
