1. we
2. us
3. us
4. we
5. us
6. we
7. me
8. he and I
When a noun and the pronoun that restates it appear side by
side, simply treat the pronoun as you would if the noun weren't
there. Thus, we would like to have the afternoon off; there's nobody
here but us; the dean told us; the dean said that we had better
shape up; for us, the future is less rosy; we are a bunch of whiners;
there didn't seem to be attention left for me; he and I threw pompoms.
Again, in the subjective case the pronoun is the actor and is
followed by a verb; in the objective case it is the target of an action
and is not followed by a verb.
RELATIVE PRONOUNS
Relative pronouns are pronouns that introduce dependent clauses.
(See page 57 for a definition of dependent clauses.) The most common
of these are who, whom, whoever, whomever, which and
that.
