Hey Gang!  It’s Friday Follies time, and I’m so glad to connect with you all again.  Since so many of you seemed to enjoy the grammar lesson last week and some of you asked that we do another one, let’s put our thinking caps on.

A very common error occurs when compounds are used.  For example, choose the correct words in the following sentences:

  1. The trouble with Jim and (her, she) is that they didn’t listen in class.
  2. Dad bought the car for my brother and (I, me) to use.
  3. When Jack and (she, her) saw what was coming, they ran.
  4. The two kids, Frank and (he, him) made the best speeches.
  5. The argument between John and (I, me or myself) was quickly settled.

Ok, there’s your pre-test.  I look forward to seeing how well you did.  I’ll share the answers next week along with a little tip that will be easy to remember.

As always, thanks for being here and joining in the fun.  See you next week.

Love,

Donna
