Rewrite the sentence to make the pronoun reference clear. After Dad brought Todd back from the football game, we took pictures of him. I got all of the other questions on this assignment right but after I submitted what I feel was the right answer, I was told it wasn't. Anyone know how to re-write this sentence in the correct way?

We took pictures of Tod after Dad brought him back from the football game. I am just guessing....I am not an English whiz

That's what I put in the first time and was told it was wrong.

We took pictures of Tod after he was brought back from the football game by dad. No....that sounds worse. let me do some searching on the internet...hold on

I googled it and someone got the same answer as I did. I don't see how it's wrong. I'd honestly rather take the zero on the question and be able to move on in my school work.

When dad brought Todd home from the football game, we took pictures with him. Just typing what I think haha.

You have to just re-state what the sentence says so saying taking pictures "with him" wouldn't work. Other than that, it's pretty much the exact sentence with a different first word.

Well, I'm not sure then honestly. Your sentence sounds correct to me. But I'm no expert on pronouns so I wouldn't know.

I am really not sure.....sorry :(
