UWF WRITING LAB RULES OF THUMB FOR PRONOUN CASE from Real Good Grammar, Too by Mamie Webb Hixon Created by April Turner

Who versusWhom Use who or whoever when you can replace the word with he: He is the candidate who should win. (He should win.) Give the money to whoever wins. (He wins.) Use whom or whomever when you can replace the word with him: He is a candidate whom we can trust. (We can trust him.) Give the money to whomever the team chooses. (The team chooses him.)

A pronoun and other people Ignore/delete and and the other people: (You and) I figured out the answer. The professor asked (you and) me to read the text. Everyone except (Shequita and) me attended the meeting.

Pronouns with between Remember that between is a preposition, so you always need the object pronouns. Object pronouns are me, him, her, us, them, whom, and whomever. The debate was between her and me OR between him and his professor.

Pronouns with another noun Ignore/delete the noun: We (women) must stick together. The instructor told us (students) to sit down.

Possessive Pronouns with Gerunds Use a possessive pronoun preceding a gerund: I am happy about your winning the lottery. Some possessive pronouns are my, his, her, your, their, and our.

Pronouns after than or as Insert the elliptical/omitted words: My classmates are much older than I [am]. Janice is taller than I [am].

Be Careful! I enjoy history more than her/she. Choose she because the sentence means, “I enjoy history more than she does.” Since he has known Maria longer than he has known Kate, Jacob understands Maria better than her/she. Choose her because the sentence means, “Jacob understands Maria better than he understands Kate (her).”

Linking Verbs Use subject pronouns after linking verbs: The winner of the contest is she. The subject pronouns are I, she, he, we, they, who, and whoever. Some linking verbs are am, is, are, was, and were.

Let’s Practice!!! Alcohol and tobacco are harmful to (whoever, whomever) consumes them. WHOEVER If I should decide to buy a hunting license, (who, whom) should I see? WHOM Dr. Evans asked Suzanne and (I, me) to explain the recent studies in literary criticism. ME Just between you and (I, me), I think Lance Armstrong is the best cyclist in the world.

Let’s Finish Up With a Few More. (We, Us) students are worried about the rising cost of textbooks. WE STUDENTS… I was happy to hear about you getting married. …YOUR GETTING MARRIED. That man thinks he is smarter than me! …THAN I! I am certain that the woman wearing the red velvet jacket is her. …IS SHE.
