In
the sentence: "Two of the better
runners were he and she"
“he
and she" are wrong. The correct pronoun usage in the sentence should be ‘him
and her’ which pertains to a male in female as better runners. However there is
none n the choices, so the answer could
be: them.
A
pronoun is used to substitute a noun. In order for it to substitute, it must
have a clear antecedent. Personal pronouns are used to substitute nouns with
ownership. There are three persons point of view.1st person is when
the subject is the one who is speaking (e.g. I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours). 2nd person is
when the subject is the one being spoken to (you, your, yours). 3rd person is when the subject is
the one spoken about (he, him, his,
she, her, hers, it, its, they, their, theirs).
