What's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which pronoun best completes the sentence? How is the pronoun used? Jane wrapped presents for __________ and our cousins. A. we; indirect object B. us; object of a preposition C. we; object of a preposition D. us; indirect object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, let's think about this. "for we and our cousins" "for us and our cousins". Which sounds better?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For us and our cousins

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! So that already eliminates A and C. Now we have to look at indirect and direct object. The indirect object asks "who?" The direct object asks "what was affected?"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It ask What

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Indirect object: http://www.grammaruntied.com/blog/?p=684 Direct object: http://www.grammaruntied.com/blog/?p=671 What do you think "us" is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was talking about the cousins and the people who are referred to as Us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be indirect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shh... let @Bree123 answer, @TrinnityC777 ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's us; object of preposition (took the k12 assessment)
