Which one of the following sentences uses pronouns correctly?
A.Please give Paul and I your undivided attention.
B.Jacob and me are going to set a meeting date.
C.Carol told Silvya and he the good news.
D. Send the package to Tanya and him.
I think the answer is A.Please give Paul and I your undivided attention.
Would you say.... Give I your attention?
Remember - nominative case pronouns = subjects and predicate nouns = I, you, he, she, it, we, they.
objective case pronouns = objects = me, you, him, her, it, us, them
Do you suggest the answer is
D.Send the pacage to Tanya and him.
Yes, D is the correct one.
You are correct! The sentence "Please give Paul and I your undivided attention" uses pronouns correctly. To determine the correct pronouns to use, you can break down the sentence and test each pronoun individually.
In this case, we have two people, Paul and the speaker (who is referring to themselves). The pronoun that should be used as the object is "me" and not "I". To test this, you can remove "Paul" from the sentence: "Please give I your undivided attention." This sounds incorrect. Now, remove the speaker: "Please give Paul your undivided attention." This sounds correct. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Please give Paul and me your undivided attention."
