Summer Assignment:
Would you say Do you know who will replace Erica and _I_ next week?
Which word would you put in place if I is the wrong pronoun? me or myself, maybe?
Who will replace me? Objective case, object of will replace
The easiest way to figure out this kind of problem is to eliminate "Erica and"
Do you know who will replace ___ next week?
Which word would you use in that blank?
In the given sentence, the correct pronoun to use instead of "I" would be "me." The revised sentence would read: "Do you know who will replace Erica and me next week?"
To determine which pronoun to use in the given sentence, we need to understand the function of the pronoun in the sentence.
In this case, the pronoun is being used as the subject of the verb "will replace."
When choosing between "me," "myself," or "I," we can first eliminate "myself" because it is a reflexive pronoun used when the subject and object refer to the same person or thing.
Now, we are left to decide between "me" and "I."
To determine whether to use "me" or "I," you can remove the other person in the sentence and see how it sounds.
For example, if we remove the other person and rephrase the sentence as "Do you know who will replace I next week?" it sounds incorrect.
However, if we remove the other person and rephrase the sentence as "Do you know who will replace me next week?" it sounds correct.
Thus, the correct pronoun to use in this sentence would be "me."
So, the correct sentence would be: "Do you know who will replace Erica and me next week?"
