A manual for people who have to use language in the real world.

Grammar for Grownups Quiz #56

Pronouns Are Important

Pronouns are the little words that mean so much and get so mutilated in daily usage. We forget what they represent (a noun), how they're spelled (their/there/they're) and how to use them to make sense. Now along comes John Mayer's hit song, "Waiting on the World to Change", which begins, "Me and all my friends..." Oh woe! Oh woe! Fill in the blanks below with either "I" or "me".

1. Will you please find an apartment for Margaret, Emma and __________?
2. Margaret and __________ want to be near the center of the campus.
3. Emma prefers a quieter place, just between you and __________.
4. Emma and __________ will get along very well.
5. But Margaret and __________ like a more active surrounding.
