Question

Which personal pronoun correctly completes the sentence?

The final two chess players are Frank and __________.

A.
he

B.
him

C.
his

Answer 1

i say He

Answer 2

So, the easiest way to determine this is to read the sentence aloud and tell us which runs the smoothest.

Answer 3

ye and he would not make sense because when you read it aloud it is like of the line

Answer 4

my teacher told me to read it back words and see wich one sounds right

Answer 5

these ones are tricky

Answer 6

Also, look at it this way:
He "He and I went to the park yesterday."
Him "The person with the highest score was him."
His "The pencil is his."

Answer 7

If you notice, you'll find this:
He is referring to a male in current time.
Him is referring to another male in any time.
His is referring to the possession of a male.

Answer 8

Scratch that, him is past tense.

Answer 9

so now which one do you think it is since you got the hint a little?

Answer 10

i still say He because you have to read it like this kinda He and Frank were the two final chess players

Answer 11

pluss he just said that him is pass and this moment is presint

Answer 12

hmm but read it this way him and Frank were the two final chess players.. it still does make sense. if you would put his in the sentence then that would not make any sense at all

Answer 13

Also, "he" is typically used as a direct object.
"Him" is used as an indirect object.

Answer 14

thats why i say He if you read it the way i said you should read it

Answer 15

In this sentence, we have a direct object; Frank. We need an indirect object to follow.

Answer 16

ohhhhh sooooo sorry ok then so its B

Answer 17

i didn't understand

Answer 18

Maybe this will clear it up more:
Uses of "he":
He is very smart.
He and I went to the park yesterday.
He wore a long raincoat.

Uses of "him":
The person who wore the raincoat was him.
The people who won the race was Freddy and him.
The person who had the highest grades in class were Alice and him.
