Would I use "me" or "yo" ?
For this sentence would I use me or yo?
Yo / Me tomaré un café todos los mañanas con mi padre y visitaremos el museó a Ann Frank tambien.

Hmmm...for some reason, I can't edit my old post.
Ok, well here is my "edit".
Yo / Me tomaré un café todos los mañanas con mi padre y visitaremos el museó a Ann Frank tambien.
You can use "yo" here. However, it's not really necessary. Simply "tomaré" is enough.
As for the rest of the sentence, it looks good. Here are a few changes. It should be todas las mañanas. Also, "museo" does not need an accent. I think "el museo a Ann Frank" should be "el museo de Ann Frank"...but I'm not 100% sure on that.
Also, tambien should be también.
Good question - I hope I helped ![]()
(Yo) Me tomaré un café todas los mañanas con mi padre y visitaremos el museo
aAnn Frank también.
There is no yo/me option here: the verb "tomaré" demands a "yo", even though it is implicit and we don't say it. This verb is not a experiencer verb like "doler" or "gustar".
The reason why people often say "[yo] me tomo", "[tú] te tomas", etc. is because this extra pronoun, with certain verbs of consumption and similar types, makes it clear that the specific amount that is being considered is fully completed. Thus, "tomé café" does not specify the amount or whether you finished whatever you asked for; "tomé un café" is generally understood as drinking the coffee, but not necessarily the whole thing; it is just too vague. "Me tomé un café", on the other hand, means every drop of it. This pronoun has an effect similar to that of "up" in "drink up" in this case.
So, that "yo" is very likely to stay implicit (if you don't want to sound weird), and that "me" is only required if you want to specify whether you drank the whole thing or not. People who really enjoy their coffee are more likely to use this "me" than those who don't care whether they have one or not.
You would use "yo" if you wanted to express that I will have coffee with my father, rather than somebody else (such as a sister). Yo creates emphasis because the conjugation tomaré... means "I will take...". Saying "yo tomaré..." is a bit like saying "I I will take..."
I would use "yo".
Just "tomaré" is fine.
Yo / Me tomaré un café todos los mañanas con mi padre y visitaremos el museó a Ann Frank tambien.
You would use yo, not me. Yo is a subject pronoun - it used when "I" is the subject (actor) of the sentence, as in this case. Me is an object pronoun, used when "I/me" is the direct or indirect object (person to whom the action is being done). For example:
- (Yo) digo -- I say
- (Tú) me dices -- You say to me, You tell me
- (Yo) me baño -- I wash myself (me is a reflexive object pronoun here)
In fact, the subject pronoun is often omitted in Spanish, because it is implied by how you conjugate the verb. So just "Tomaré un cafe ..." would be even better. (In the same way that you have said "visitaremos" rather than "nosotros visitaremos").
See the sections on pronouns in the reference library:
Otherwise, I agree with SonrisaDelSo. It should be "todas las mañanas" (la mañana is feminine) and should probably be "de Ann Frank", and también needs an accent.
I would drink coffee every morning with my father and we will visit the Ann Frank museum too.
