Khi một đại từ là chủ đề của động từ trong một câu, đại từ phải có trong trường hợp được bổ nhiệm | MAKING SURE NOUNS AND PRONOUNS AGREE Nominative Case Pronouns The subject of a verb is in the nominative case. When a pronoun is the subject of the verb in a sentence the pronoun must be in the nominative case. Most writers do this without thinking. Example He is a good worker. Not him is a good worker or his is a good worker. He is the subject so it appears in the nominative case. When the pronoun follows a linking verb however the correct usage may sound awkward. Examples The landscape architect who designed the garden is he. It is I said my brother. Objective Case Pronouns Objective case pronouns are used as the object in a sentence. They usually follow an action verb or act as the object of a preposition. Example The crossing guard gave him a wave. The pronoun him follows the action word gave so it is in the objective case. Example We went to the park with Jordan and her. The pronoun her is the object of the preposition with so it is in the objective case. Example This is between you and me. The pronoun me is the object of the preposition between so it is in the objective case. Possessive Case Pronouns Possessive case pronouns show possession. Example The shoes are his. The shoes belong to him so he possesses them. The possessive pronoun his is used. Example That is our way of celebrating the new season. Whose way is it The way belongs to us so it is our way. The possessive case rarely presents problems. The nominative and objective cases however can be tricky. Pronoun Case Problems Most writers do not have agreement problems when pronouns are used alone in a sentence. Example He sat at the table. When pronouns are used with a noun or another pronoun it can be confusing. Examples of incorrect usage The taxi driver drove my neighbor and I to the store. Jimmy and me are going to work in Georgia. The mechanic spoke to he and I about the repairs. One strategy for ensuring that you are using the correct case with your pronouns is to separate the sentence into two .
