Zorluk: KolayPronoun Case and Person

In the sentence below, a pronoun is underlined.

"The science museum offered free admission tickets to my classmates and I for the weekend exhibition."

Which of the following choices is the best replacement for the underlined portion of the sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. meCevap
  3. C
    myself
  4. D
    we

Cevap

The correct pronoun to replace the underlined portion is 'me'.
The correct answer is 'me' because the pronoun functions as the object of the preposition 'to'. In compound objects (like 'my classmates and me'), the objective case pronoun must be used.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the grammatical role of the underlined pronoun.
The pronoun is part of the compound phrase 'my classmates and I', which follows the preposition 'to'.
Pronouns following prepositions function as objects and must be in the objective case.
2
Determine the correct pronoun case by isolating the pronoun.
Simplifying the sentence to 'offered tickets to me' shows that the objective pronoun 'me' is correct.
Using 'to I' is grammatically incorrect, so 'to me' is correct.
