5. My father suggested that _________ could go as a family.

- The speaker is part of the family, and the sentence implies we (including the speaker and others)

- A. I → singular, but implies only the speaker
- B. we → plural, subject form, includes the speaker and others ✔

✔ Answer: B. we

6. _________ started making our plans that afternoon.

- "Our plans" suggests a group including the speaker
- The subject should be plural and include the speaker
- A. We → plural, subject form ✔

Since "our plans" indicates the speaker is involved, "We" is more natural and correct.

- "Gave" is a verb followed by an object

- B. us → objective, plural ✔

✔ Answer: B. us

8. _________ was the only one who had never been to Florida.

- The sentence uses "was" → singular verb
- So the subject must be singular
- "We" → plural ✘
- "I" → singular ✔
- But check: "I was the only one..." is grammatically correct and common.

✔ Answer: B. I

> Note: While "I" is correct here, it's important to remember that "I" is a subject pronoun, and it's used correctly as the subject of "was."

9. Everyone wished _________ well on my first trip south.

- "Wished" is a verb, and the object is the person being wished well

🔍 Summary of Key Concepts:

- Subject pronouns (I, he, she, they, we): used when the pronoun is the doer of the action.
- Object pronouns (me, him, her, them, us): used when the pronoun is the receiver of the action or after prepositions.
- Always match the number (singular/plural), person (first/second/third), and gender (if relevant) of the antecedent.
- Use context to determine whether the pronoun is a subject or object.
