Which sentence correctly uses an objective case pronoun? A. The only children at the party are us and Sarah. B. Should them purchase the plane tickets online? C. Him and Doug left the house hours ago. D. Pam greeted her and her sisters at the door.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

C

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well whoever "him" and Doug are, they are the subject, and require pronouns that are subjective.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

but its not B not D and A doesnt even make sense

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

im confused am i right or wrong?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Well...no. The correct sentence would be He and Doug

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

but everything else is reeally a fragment

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

well its defs not B

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

defs not D but then its A ;-;

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

It actually is D. Her could refer to uh...well let's say Suzy is "her". Then it would make sense. Pam greeted Suzy and her sisters at the door.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

but its says her like twice

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

And Suzy and her sisters are the object in this sentence, so when you replace "Suzy" with a pronoun, it must be objective.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

i trust u i just thought it was weirdly worded

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

It is, but that's an error to fix for another day. XD

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

okie thx
