Question

Help

Answer 1

@tafkas77 can you help me with these

Answer 2

Hmm... Give me a second okay? I'm going to have took through my old notes. :)

Answer 3

Oh ok!

Answer 4

Okay, do you know the difference between the "cases" given to you in question 22?

Answer 5

no..

Answer 6

That's okay! Here they are:

☼Nominative: When the pronoun (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, and they) is the subject of the sentence (the thing/person doing the action).

☼Objective: When the pronoun (me, you (singular), him, her, it, us, you (plural), and them) is the object of the sentence (the thing/person receiving the action).

☼ Possessive: When the pronoun is used to show possession/ownership. "It's MINE. It's HIS. It belongs to HER. It's THEIRS."


Do you get that, now?

Answer 7

PERFECT. :) Now, I don't have time to work with you on all of these questions, because I have a lesson coming up. But I do want to help you some more, so we can do the next few, okay?

Answer 8

So for the next one - do you know what the different pronouns are? Direct, Indirect, and object of a preposition?

Answer 9

no i dont

Answer 10

Well, first you need to know the object pronouns themselves: me, you, him, her, them, us, and it.

☼Direct object of a verb
A direct object is a noun that receives the action of a verb.
To see if a sentence contains a direct object, place question "who(m)?" or "what?" after the verb. If nothing answers these questions, there is no direct object.

ex: Bill and Jill ate pizza. (Ate what? PIZZA. Pizza is the direct object. The Direct Object can be replaced with a DO pronoun, 'it." Bill and Jill ate IT.)

☼Indirect object of a verb
The indirect object receives the action of the verb indirectly and it always comes before the direct object.
Indirect Object shows for whom or for what the action was undertaken and is identified by imagining a [to] or [for] in front of it.

ex: Bill and Jill made Jane a pie. (For who? Jane. Jane is the indirect object. "Jane" can be replaced with an IO pronoun, her.)

☼Object of the preposition
A preposition is a word that shows location, movement, or direction.
Common prepositions are of, on, to, in, near, below, beneath, beside, over, across, with, by, for, and under.
A preposition is always followed by a noun (or pronoun) called the object of the preposition.

ex: Beneath the sea. (Object of preposition is the sea. You could replace 'sea' with an OP pronoun: Beneath IT.)

Do you get this, now?

Answer 11

yeah i do!

Answer 12

Great! :D So what's the answer to 23? What do you think?

Answer 13

Yes. :)

And what I just explained works for question 24, too.

Answer 14

Wonderful!

Also, for 23, i thought you typed "they." <-- That's the answer, but I see you picked "them." That would be wrong. A trick I use on questions like that is this: If I rearranged the words in the sentence, would it still make sense?

Let's use "them."

The favorites for the show were the Bensons and them.

Them and the Bensons were the favorites for the show.

Them were the favorites for the show.

OR, they:

The favorites for the show were the Bensons and they.

They and the Bensons were the favorites for the show.

They were the favorites for the show.

Make sense?
