Step-by-step solution for: Subject and Object Pronouns - All Things Grammar
Let's go through each sentence in the Grammar Quiz and determine the correct subject or object pronoun. We'll explain why each answer is correct based on grammar rules.
---
- a) Him → Incorrect (object pronoun, but subject needed)
- b) He → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* "He" is the subject of the sentence ("He will graduate"), so we use the subject pronoun.
✔ Answer: b) He
---
- a) He → Incorrect (only one person, not both)
- b) She → Incorrect (same reason)
- c) They → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* "Sandra and Thomas" are two people — plural. So we use "They", the plural subject pronoun.
✔ Answer: c) They
---
- a) them → ✔ Correct
- b) he → Incorrect (subject pronoun, but after "meet", we need object)
- c) him → Incorrect (singular, but "them" refers to multiple people)
*Note:* The sentence says “take them”, so the object is plural. But the blank is before "at the airport" — it’s likely referring to the same group.
So: "After you meet them at the airport..." → "them" is the object of "meet".
✔ Answer: a) them
---
- a) him → Incorrect (not referring to a male)
- b) me → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* The speaker is asking for help, so the object is "me" (the speaker).
✔ Answer: b) me
---
- a) us → ✔ Correct
- b) we → Incorrect (subject pronoun; "join" needs object)
- c) I → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
*Explanation:* "Join" is a verb that takes an object. "Us" is the object form of "we".
✔ Answer: a) us
---
- a) she → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
- b) her → ✔ Correct
- c) they → Incorrect (plural, but only one person mentioned)
*Explanation:* "To" is a preposition — needs an object pronoun. "Her" is the correct object form.
✔ Answer: b) her
---
- a) they → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
- b) she → Incorrect (singular, not matching "they")
- c) them → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* "Like" is a verb needing an object. "Them" is the object pronoun. Also, "they" refers to plural people, so "them" matches.
✔ Answer: c) them
---
- a) me → ✔ Correct
- b) they → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
- c) they → Incorrect
*Explanation:* "Ask" is followed by an object. "Me" is the object pronoun.
✔ Answer: a) me
---
- a) him → Incorrect (refers to person)
- b) them → ✔ Correct
- c) it → Incorrect (singular, but "cups" is plural)
*Explanation:* "These cups" = plural → use "them" as object pronoun.
✔ Answer: b) them
---
- a) They → ✔ Correct
- b) Them → Incorrect (object pronoun; here, "look" needs subject)
- c) It → Incorrect (singular, but "people" is plural)
*Explanation:* "Look hungry" is a predicate — needs a subject. "They" is the subject pronoun.
✔ Answer: a) They
---
- a) He → ✔ Correct
- b) It → Possible, but less natural
- c) I → Incorrect
*Explanation:* While "It" can refer to animals, when a dog has a name or is personified, "he" or "she" is often used. Here, since the dog is described as biting someone, using "He" is more natural and acceptable in informal English.
✔ Answer: a) He
---
- a) him → Incorrect (gender unspecified)
- b) she → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
- c) her → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* "Talk to" needs an object pronoun. "Her" is the correct form. Though the gender isn't specified, "her" is commonly used in such contexts unless otherwise indicated.
Wait — actually, the sentence doesn’t specify gender. But if it’s a neutral situation, maybe "them"? But "them" is not listed.
Given choices:
- a) him → male
- b) she → subject pronoun
- c) her → object pronoun
Only "her" is grammatically correct as an object pronoun. But it assumes female.
But the quiz likely expects "her" as the correct choice, even though it's ambiguous.
Alternatively, perhaps the intended answer is "him", but that’s also arbitrary.
Wait — actually, "her" is the only object pronoun among options. So regardless of gender, if we must pick from the list, "her" is the only grammatically correct option.
But better to assume the person is female.
✔ Answer: c) her
---
- a) They → Incorrect (plural)
- b) It → ✔ Correct
*Explanation:* "This number" is singular → "It" refers back to the number.
✔ Answer: b) It
---
- a) her → Incorrect (Mr. Smith is male)
- b) him → ✔ Correct
- c) she → Incorrect (subject pronoun)
*Explanation:* "Mr. Smith" is male → use "him" as object pronoun.
✔ Answer: b) him
---
- a) it → ✔ Correct
- b) we → Incorrect
- c) they → Incorrect
*Explanation:* Time expressions use "It" as a dummy subject: "It is eight o'clock."
✔ Answer: a) it
---
- a) We → ✔ Correct
- b) He → Incorrect (singular)
- c) Us → Incorrect (object pronoun, but subject needed)
*Explanation:* "We" is the subject of the sentence. "Us" would be incorrect here.
✔ Answer: a) We
