Pronoun Usage - Gap Fill Exercises

The correct answer is 'me' because it functions as the object of the preposition 'to'. In the sentence 'The victim turned out to be me,' 'me' is a predicate pronoun following the linking verb 'to be'. In formal grammar, the subject complement should be in the objective case when it refers to the object.

The correct answer is 'me' because it's the object of the preposition 'for' in 'for Binod and me'. When a pronoun is part of a compound object, it must be in the objective case (me rather than I).

The correct answer is 'I' because it's part of the subject 'Charlene and I' performing the action of handling. Subject pronouns must be used in subject position. The easy way to check is to remove the other person: 'I am handling' is correct.

The correct answer is 'his' because it's a possessive pronoun standing alone as the object of 'to' - 'We objected to his taking all the credit'. The construction uses the possessive form with a gerund (taking) to indicate whose action is being objected to.

The correct answer is 'I' because it's part of the subject compound 'He and I' connected by 'are'. Subject pronouns are required in subject position. Test by removing 'He' - 'I am cousins' (with 'are') shows the correct form.

The correct answer is 'We' because it's the subject of the sentence 'We managers must assume a leadership role'. 'We' is a subject pronoun, while 'Us' is an object pronoun. Subject pronouns must be used when the pronoun is performing the action or being described.

The correct answer is 'him and me' because both pronouns are objects of the preposition 'without' in 'without him and me'. Object pronouns (him, me, them, us) must be used after prepositions. This is a compound object.

Each is a singular pronoun, so it requires the singular possessive its, not the plural their. The phrase each of the books refers to the books individually, making its the correct choice.

Before a gerund (worrying), use the possessive form their. The phrase their worrying is the object of the verb stop, and the pronoun modifying the gerund must be possessive.

This comparison omits the second verb. The full meaning is it hurt them. Since the blank would be the object of the implied verb hurt, use the objective case them not they.

Except is a preposition. Pronouns following prepositions must be in the objective case, so me is correct not she or he.

In formal English, whom is used as the object of a preposition. The gift was intended for whom, making whom the correct objective form.

With is a preposition, so both pronouns must be in the objective case. Her is the objective form of she, and me is the objective form of I, making her and me correct.

Larry and ____ is the subject of the sentence, so the blank needs the nominative case. He is the subject form, while him is the objective form and would be incorrect here.

Larry and ____ is the direct object of saw, so both pronouns must be in objective case. Him is the objective form, making it correct. He would be the subject form and incorrect.

Since the verb is follows the blank, the blank must be the subject of is and requires the nominative case he. The objective form him would be incorrect with a verb present.

The blank is part of the subject of the sentence, so it requires the nominative case. We is the subject form and correct. Us would be the objective form and incorrect.

With the verb do following the blank, the blank is the subject of do and requires the nominative case I. The objective form me would be incorrect when the verb is present.

In comparisons without a following verb, the objective case me is traditionally correct. If the verb am were added, I would be required, but without it me is standard usage.

The comparison structure requires an object pronoun. The phrase "like someone more than [object pronoun]" compares two people. "Her" is the object pronoun that parallels "professor Dante" in the comparison structure.

The blank is the subject of the verb "organised," so it needs a subject pronoun. "The teacher and I" creates a compound subject, which always uses subject pronouns. "Me" and "myself" are object forms.

The preposition "to" requires an object pronoun. "Nichole and me" forms the object of the preposition, so "her" is correct. "She" is a subject pronoun, "herself" is a reflexive pronoun, and "his" is the wrong gender.

The others ask 'him' for advice. 'Him' is the receiver of action here. So, 'whom' will be used here. 

'You and me' is the correct usage here.

The possessive form of one is 'one's'.
