17... Each is singular; therefore the pronoun must be singular.

18. "than I (know)" is an adverb clause. I is the subject of the clause; therefore must be in the nominative case.

19. "to her"is a prepositional phrase. Her is the object of the preposition; therefore must be in the objective case.

20. "I" is the subject of the sentence; therefore must be in the nominative case.

21. "Who" is the subject, therefore nominative case.

22. "to whom" is a prepositional phrase, therefore the object is in the objective case.

23. "who is a well-known singer" is a clause. "who" is the subject; therefore must be in the nominative case.
