00:08

in the back but true friends would never do that

00:11

They stab you in hollywood which answer best feels in

00:15

the blame blank were friends before i moved away And

00:19

here the potential answers All right well let's think about

00:24

this Blank needs to be filled with two pronouns that

00:28

are both in the subject of case both pronoun share

00:32

duties as the subject of the sentence So object cronin's

00:35

and possessive pronouns aren't allowed We're not trying to be

00:38

snobby here just lamentably correct Option c is one for

00:42

two I is a subject pronoun so it's fine at

00:45

the head of the sentence But the possessive pronoun is

00:48

is a real problem here What exactly is this pronoun

00:51

supposed to be Possessing Conjunction and well and is way

00:55

too independent for that number Conjunction junction one of your

00:58

function here doesn't function That though see gets the eye

01:01

part right his throws everything out of whack like in

object pronoun me remember folks both pronounce have to be

01:16

in the subject of case Otherwise this sentence will get

01:18

out of control like a option d correctly suggests he

01:23

however the reflexive pronoun myself takes d down the road

01:26

to ruin All reflects it pronounce myself herself himself themselves

01:30

are almost always used as objects If we ever see

01:34

any of these words used as the subject of a

01:36

sentence are alarms auto sound thinking all right the only

01:39

choice was to subject pronounces option b e and i

01:42

are the only pronoun worthy of being the subject We

01:45

won't say that allowed you know they might let it

01:47

go to their heads We're not trying to be snobby 00:01:49.658 --> [endTime] here
