Unit Test 3a

Select the pronoun that complete this sentence: "Johan and ______ are siblings in the Garsh family."

• She

• Her

• They

• Ours

Answer explanation

SHE is a subjective pronoun and should be used as the subject of the sentence. In this example, SHE is the correct answer because we're looking for what could work as a subject.

The answer is NOT "her" because "her" is an objective pronoun (when something is being done to them). For example: The donkey kicked her. In this example, the kicking is being done to her, the objective pronoun.
