OpenStudy (yinshy):

How is the underlined pronoun used in the sentence? Paco and I started collecting sports cards several years ago. A. possessive B. predicate nominative C. subject D. direct object

OpenStudy (yinshy):

I is the under lined word

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Well, which ones can we eliminate right away?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

C and D

OpenStudy (yinshy):

its ether B or D

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Right. So, a possession is an object that is owned by a noun. For example, the house is the possession in this sentence: We went to Jane's house.

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Is "I" owned by a noun?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

no i dont think so

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

So we can eliminate that.

OpenStudy (yinshy):

sooooo D then?

OpenStudy (yinshy):

i have a ton of questions so lots of medals

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

Not quite. The direct object is the sports cards. I is a subject. Predicate nominatives basically rename a subject, for example "he" is a predicate nominative for "James" in this sentence: He and I went to the park yesterday.

OpenStudy (yinshy):

ohhhh

OpenStudy (irrati0nal):

So have you found your answer?
