13.2.1 Case of Pronouns
|
- Use the case of pronoun appropriate for the
grammatical situation:
- Use the nominative case for
- Subjects of verbs
Predicate nominatives
Appositives with nouns in the nominative
- Use the objective case for
- Direct objects
Indirect objects
Objects of prepositions
Appositives with nouns in the objective
- Use the possessive case of pronouns
- To show a pronoun's ownership of a noun
To show a pronoun's ownership of a gerund
- Be wary of cases of pronouns when the pronouns
are joined to something else by "and.''
- A pronoun's case following "than'' or
"as'' is determined by completing the elliptical clause
in one's mind.
