Pronouns+in+Pairs

Home

Use a **subject pronoun** in a compound subject. Use an **object pronoun** in a compound direct object, compound indirect object, or compound object of a preposition. Simply put, if you are not sure which pronoun forn to use, say the sentence to yourself with out the other part of the compound. For example, ** She and (I / me) ate the entire batch of brownies. ** You would use the pronoun I instead of me because if you took away the pronoun she then the sentence would read I ate the entire batch of brownies. Another example, ** (He/Him) and I went to the hockey game. ** You would use the pronoun he because if you took away the pronoun I, it would read he went to the hockey game.
