Using Then or As After Pronouns By Isabel Vera
Then and as • When using pronouns in comparison, you will compare either subjects or objects • COMPARING OBJECTS: Ex: The dog bugged Taylor more than Ryan. • COMPARING SUBJECTS: Ex: Jessica is taller than John.
Subject pronoun of object pronoun • By adding missing parts, mentally, to your sentence it can help for correct pronoun usage. • Incorrect: We went to the dog park before her. • Correct: We went to the dog park before she [went to the dog park] .
Singular plural • Subjective Case: I You She/he/It • Objective Case: Me You Him/her/it • Subjective Case: We You They • Objective Case: Us You Them
Tips • When there are multiple subjects or objects, reduce the sentence to only the pronoun. EX: John, Rick, and (I, me) went to the store. A) I went to the park B) Me went to the park Answer: John, Rick, and I went to the store.
