OpenStudy (clobber02):

@Tjbrew

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So it can be re-written to read like this: He always did ask Whom for advice after that? Us! So "he" is the subject. "did ask" is the verb. "Always" is an adverb modifying the verb. AND YES you are correct it is B. Great JOB!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Tjbrew i disagree... David and he? that is improper grammer

OpenStudy (clobber02):

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

This one is a bit tricky because of the linking verb "are". So you need a pronoun that is used as a subject because linking verbs serve to link the predicate back to the subject. So the pronoun must be able to function as the subject.

OpenStudy (clobber02):

is it c

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

@Blopez02 it is David and he even though it doesn't sound right to you, it is correct grammatically because of the linking verb.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

No it has to be a pronoun that can be used as a subject

OpenStudy (clobber02):

a or b

OpenStudy (clobber02):

i think a

OpenStudy (clobber02):

maybe

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Watch...Frank and he are the final two chess players is the same as the final two chess players are Frank and he. Do you see???

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Yes A. is correct.

OpenStudy (clobber02):

so it is a

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Yes

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Any more??
