Lesson 26

Using Pronouns Correctly

Use a subject pronoun as the subject of a sentence. Use an object pronoun as the

object of a verb. Be sure to use a subject pronoun in a compound subject and an

object pronoun in a compound object.

Jamal and I fly model planes. (compound subject)

Debra met Jamal and me in the park. (compound object)

In formal writing and speaking, always use a subject pronoun after a linking verb.

The last one in line was he. Yes, this is she.

Exercise 1 Underline the pronoun in parentheses that best completes each sentence.
