Alpo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Parts of speech. These are both pronouns, but they are opposing versions of the same pronoun. I'm sure there is a term for this, but I don't know it. I and me She and her He and him They and them We and us You use the first one for the subject of a sentence, and the other one is used for the object of a preposition. Bob and I went to the Saloon (ACS). Bottles gave a free beer to Bob and me. We said nasty things about Mark Flint, and he threw a spittoon at us. We picked it up and threw it back at him. Is there a specific term for the pronouns used in the subject of a sentence, and another term for the pronouns used as an object of the preposition?

If you had taken the time to read his link you would have seen the descriptions of subjective, objective, possessive , demonstrative, etc., pronouns, which appear To have been the reasons for your inquiry.

Finagler 6853 Life Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Undangling participles My cat had dangling participles. We had them removed. I too keep mine covered. Isn't that the purpose of an athletic supporter? An athletic supporter is someone who cheers for their favorite sports team. Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, it is all Greek to me. Maybe Subdeacon Joe can help us with the Greek translation. English wasn't my best subject. Bad English I can do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
