Which sentence correctly uses a nominative case pronoun? MEDAL+FAN A. Have him and Ernie finished the obstacle course yet? B. The late sleepers are my brother and me. C. Them and Alex are eager explorers. D. The neighborhood kids and we waited for the parade.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you maybe wanna go into the writing or English part

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Here are the nominative pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, they, and we These are the pronouns that are usually the subject of a sentence – and they do the action in that sentence. A few examples of these nominative pronouns acting as the subject of a sentence are as follows: I went to the store today. She talked to her brother on the phone. You ran five miles yesterday. They are not very happy about what happened. We work together as a team. It is my favorite color. He is my best friend.

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

no one would answer on English.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmfao keep posting then till someone does or wait for a reply

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I did

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

And since everyone is on math and no one is ever on English I have to come here

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Well, I gave you the answer, that's the best I can do!!

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Everyone is on math...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Sam and I go fishing. (and not - Sam and me go fishing)

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

Well, I think it is B.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

my brother and me go to sleep?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

well, would it make sense to say "me go to sleep ? "

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I have a meeting in 10 min. I have to get a good grade on this

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

is it "me go to sleep" or "I go to sleep" ?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I go to sleep

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I think that it is B.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, and when you go to sleep with your brother that doesn't changes either. (( it is still "I" (that goes to sleep), and not "me" (that goes to sleep). ))

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So is B correct or incorrect ?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I think B is the right answer

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

D does not sound right

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

neither does C

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

And A does not sound right

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

A does not have a nominative pronoun so it falls off.

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

A,c,d does not sound right

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

So my vote goes to B

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, when you say "The late sleepers are my brother and me." convert this to a single statement about just you. "The late sleep is __ " To check, say "__ the late sleep" and do you think, "I am the late sleeper", or "me am the late sleeper" ??

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I am the late sleeper

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, so the pronoun to fit the blank is: "The late sleepers are my brother and ___." ?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

I

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, so is B correct or incorrect ?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

incorrect I mean

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, B is wrong.

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

so it is C or D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

C " Them and Alex are eager explorers. " do you say "Them are eager explorers" or do you say "They are eager explorers" ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Same way: "They are cool" or "Them are cool" ?

OpenStudy (ilovecake):

ohhh I think it is D

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

"The neighborhood kids and we waited for the parade. " we see each piece is correct. ~ "The neighborhood kids waited for the parade." ~ "We waited for the parade."

OpenStudy (ilovecake):
