Which personal pronoun correctly completes the sentence? What is its use? The burros carried our parents and __________ down Bright Angel Trail. A. us; indirect object B. us; direct object C. we; indirect object D. we; direct object

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ok, so a great way to know which personal pronoun to use is to take out "our parents". Now read the sentence without "our parents" .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Now, when you read it, which personal pronoun did you use to replace "our parents" ? And type out what the sentence would be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what you mean

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Which is correct? The burros carried us down Bright Angel Trail. -or- The burros carried we down Bright Angel Trail.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Great! So that means options C and D are incorrect. Now, do you know what a direct and indirect object are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk may be indirect
