Part 3: Case of Pronouns in Compound Sentence Parts worksheet 4
When in doubt about which case of pronoun to use in a compound sentence part, drop out the noun. Read the sentence with just the pronoun and follow the usual rules for case of pronouns.
Pronouns have two special cases to show whether they are used as subjects or objects.
Subject case Object case
1st I We me us
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd You You you you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd He him
She They her them
It it
When wondering which pronoun to use in a sentence, use this method.
1. Look at the verb. If it is an action verb, go to 2. If it is linking, go to 3.
2. Find the subject. (if the pronoun will be the subject, choose subject case.) Any other pronoun in the sentence will be objective.
3. If the verb is linking, both subject and predicate pronoun will come from the subject case. Objects of prepositions still come from objective case.
Directions: Choose the correct pronoun.
