Pronouns in
Compounds

You know that two or more simple subjects
joined by and or or make up a compound subject.
Use subject pronouns in compound sentences.
If you want to include yourself as part of the
compound subject, use the subject pronoun I.
It is polite to mention yourself last.


To check that the pronoun is correct, try using it
alone as the subject. For example, drop the
words Pam or. I will speak at the assembly is
correct. Me will speak at the assembly is not
correct.

You know that an object pronoun is used in two ways.
It receives the action of a verb, and it is used after
words such as to, in, for, and at. Any pronoun in a
compound object must be an object pronoun. Here,
too, it is polite to mention yourself last.
