"I, you and he will help the poor." This sentence is incorrect. "You, he and I will help the poor." This sentence is correct. Why?
As others have said, the first sentence is not incorrect grammatically. There is no "rule" of grammar that is violates. It is undesirable only from a social and stylistic point of view. It is considered good manners to put yourself last when there are two or more people involved and you are one of them. The second sentence is the more desirable of the two because it follows the time-honoured social principle of "others first."This is called "polite deference." It is similar to the social practice of saying "After you" and allowing another person to go first.
Rewrite the sentence to make the pronoun reference clear.?
Students like mathematics teachers because they are practical. Sherrie told Sarah that she needed to work on her spelling. The lobby of the old hotel was dimly lit with a crystal chandelier. It was dingy and needed repair. After Dad brought Todd back from the football game, we took pictures of him. She traced her ancestry back to the original president of the college, which her roommate thought was unfair.
Rewrite the sentence by correcting the error in pronoun reference or agreement.?
I have rewritten each correctly for you. Thanks for the opportunity to help thee. #19 For dessert, Mother served ice cream with nuts on top, which delighted us. (correct as you wrote it. -- assuming mother was delighting more than one person, otherwise end with "which delighted me.") #25 Can everyone recite their life's verse? (since "their" is plural, like everyone is) or Can anyone recite his/her life's verse? ("his", or "her" is singular as is "anyone" -- this is what pronoun agreement means.) #27 When I stopped by the post office, it was closed. #29 Sally was grateful for a meal on her table, a roof over her head, and for a family that loved her. (late edit on #29)
French II Pronouns y and en?
Lupus Mortis' answers are correct. Just to help you see why though. The pronoun "y" replaces a prepositional phrase-- a noun(s) preceded by the preposition "à" or "en." (This does not have to be a place, but remember if it's people you would use lui for singular and leur for plural). For example, "à la fête," "en classe," and "au marché" are all prepositional phrases (reminder au is a contraction of à and le). Basically what the pronoun y, as I have said, is replace one of these phrases, and if translated into English if will mean "there" or "at them" (if talking about objects). You will put the "y" before the conjugated verb in a single-verb sentence or before the last infinitive in a sentence including infinitive. For example "Je vais au supermarché" (I'm going to the supermarket) becomes "J'y vais" (I'm going there) "Je vais répondre aux questions" (I am going to respond to the questions) becomes "Je vais y répondre" (I am going to respond to them) The Pronoun en is similar to "y" except it replaces a prepositional phrase in which the preposition "de" is present. It basically will mean "some" or "about it/them" depending on context. Just like the pronoun "y" it will be placed before the conjugated verb in a single-verb sentence or before the last infinitive in a sentence including infinitive. If you have a sentence that includes both "y" and "en" replaces prepositional phrases, y comes first. For example. "Tout le monde parle du match" (Everyone's talking about the match) becomes "Tout le monde en parle" (Everyone's talking about it) "Est-ce que tu manges des frites?" (Are you eating fries?) becomes "Est-ce que tu en manges?" (Are you eating some?)
Can someone help? Identify the error in each sentence as a problem in pronoun reference or pronoun agreement. Then, rewrite each sentence.?
1) The problem is that it's not clear whether "he" refers to Jeff or his brother. Here is a revision - After talking to his brother about the project, Jeff went home. 2) The problem is that "every" refers to one shopper, while "their" and "they" refer to more than one shopper. Here is a revision - Frugal shoppers count their coupons before they shop. 3) The problem is that "someone" refers to one person, while "their" refers to more than one person. Here is a revision - Someone decided to leave his or her mess behind for others to clean up. 4) The problem is that it's not clear whether "it" refers to the crowd or the soccer game. Here is a revision - The crowd sat through two hours of a rainy soccer game, which ended in a tie. 5) The problem is that "their" represents only the Smiths, not Mr. Paulson, since he's only one person. Here is a revision - Neither the Smiths nor Mr. Paulson remembered to purchase a hunting license.
