1. To determine whether to use "who" or "whom" in the sentence "Who wrote this poem about Knoxville, Tennessee?" we can break it down into two steps. First, identify the subject and verb of the sentence. The subject is "Who" and the verb is "wrote." Second, rephrase the sentence as a statement. "He/She wrote this poem about Knoxville, Tennessee." Since "he/she" is the subject pronoun, we use "who" instead of "whom." Therefore, the correct answer is "Who wrote this poem about Knoxville, Tennessee?"
2. To determine whether to use "she" or "her" in the sentence "Has anyone told Maya or she about the opera?" we can again break it down into two steps. First, identify the subject and verb of the sentence. The subject is "anyone" and the verb is "told." Second, separate the two options and combine them with the verb. "Has anyone told Maya or she about the opera?" becomes "Has anyone told Maya or she about the opera?" Since "she" is used as the subject pronoun in this case, we use "she" instead of "her." Therefore, the correct answer is "Has anyone told Maya or she about the opera?"
3. To determine whether to use "we" or "us" in the sentence "The coach was happy with we runners," we can simplify the sentence by removing the other components. "The coach was happy with we runners" becomes "The coach was happy with we." Now, substitute the pronoun with its subject and object forms. "The coach was happy with we" becomes "The coach was happy with us." Therefore, the correct answer is "The coach was happy with us runners."
4. To determine whether to use "who" or "whom" in the sentence "Who should I thank for the tickets?" we can break it down into two steps. First, identify the subject and verb of the sentence. The subject is "I" and the verb is "should thank." Second, rephrase the sentence as a statement. "I should thank him/her for the tickets." Since "him/her" is the object pronoun, we use "whom" instead of "who." Therefore, the correct answer is "Whom should I thank for the tickets?"
5. To determine whether to use "we" or "us" in the sentence "Mr. Yu helped we students in the library," we can simplify the sentence by removing the other components. "Mr. Yu helped we students in the library" becomes "Mr. Yu helped we in the library." Now, substitute the pronoun with its subject and object forms. "Mr. Yu helped we in the library" becomes "Mr. Yu helped us in the library." Therefore, the correct answer is "Mr. Yu helped us students in the library."
6. To determine whether to use "who" or "whom" in the sentence "Who will you march next to in the parade?" we can break it down into two steps. First, identify the subject and verb of the sentence. The subject is "you" and the verb is "will march." Second, rephrase the sentence as a statement. "You will march him/her next to in the parade." Since "him/her" is the object pronoun, we use "whom" instead of "who." Therefore, the correct answer is "Whom will you march next to in the parade?"
