The following question refers to “Pronouns and Antecedents.” If the following sentence uses the proper pronoun, mark the answer as True. If the sentence does not use the proper pronoun, mark the answer as False.

The commander was concerned about the workload, but the crew gave she a surprise.


True


False

Verified Answer :

False. The correct pronoun would be "her." "The commander was concerned about the workload, but the crew gave HER a surprise." "She" is a SUBJECTIVE pronoun, which is a pronoun that renames a subject (e.g., Lisa is a nice woman = She is a nice woman). The subject pronoun "she" renames the subject "Lisa." You cannot use an OBJECTIVE pronoun, like him, her, or me, to rename the subject of the sentence. For example, you cannot say "Her is a nice woman."

- By the way, an objective pronoun renames the object receiving the action of the verb. For example, I love to talk about them. Here, "them" is the objective pronoun because it is receiving "love," which is the action of the verb.
