(He, Him) is a great baseball player. (She, Her) gave (he, him) a new bat. Don't forget the trick! Take the other person/people away to see what works alone. That is how you choose.

Message from Mrs. Smith 2.28

Remember the trick when choosing a pronoun that is paired with another person/item: Take the other person or item away and decide which pronoun works. It has to work alone in order to be the correct answer. Lat night, many of you missed the last question...My grandfather gave my brother and ME a fishing pole. You wouldn't say, "My grandfather gave I a fishing pole," so you wouldn't say, "my brother and I." IT HAS TO WORK ALONE CORRECTLY IN ORDER TO WORK WITH ANOTHER PERSON OR ITEM. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TRICK. USE IT EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU CHOOSE. Do the form below and review pronouns carefully tonight.

Message from Mrs. Smith

I'm proud of the work you've put into the pronoun and possessive noun work we are doing. Those of you still struggling, see me for a tutorial Tuesday at 3. We will have a test on Friday that will cover all the material on my blog since MLK. Use your flip, the blog, and any class material we've used to help you prepare. You will have Go Grammar HW each night this week. We will take a break from WW this week so you will have time to review and study.
