We can mentally complete this sentence in two ways: Daniel would rather talk to her than to me. OR Daniel would rather talk to her than I would. As you can see, the meaning will change depending on the pronoun you choose. Rule 6. Possessive pronouns show ownership and never need apostrophes. Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, and theirs Note The only time it's has an apostrophe is when it is a contraction for it is or it has. Examples: It's a cold morning. The thermometer reached its highest reading. Rule 7. Reflexive pronouns—myself, himself, herself, itself, themselves, ourselves, yourself, yourselves—should be used only when they refer back to another word in the sentence. Correct: I did it myself. Incorrect: My brother and myself did it. The word myself does not refer back to another word. Correct: My brother and I did it. Incorrect: Please give it to John or myself. Correct: Please give it to John or me. Who vs. Whom Rule. Use the he/him method to decide which word is correct. he = who him = whom 26 |
