\nTo be<\/em> verbs:<\/strong> is<\/em>, are<\/em>, was<\/em>, were, will be<\/em>, may be<\/em>, may have been<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n
\nHe<\/em> is the subject of the sentence, so use a subject pronoun.<\/p>\n
\nEnrique<\/em> and she<\/em> are the subjects of the sentence.
\n
\nExample:<\/strong> It<\/em> is I<\/em> who called.
\nI<\/em> comes after the to be<\/em> verb is<\/em> and renames the subject it<\/em>. Therefore, use the subject pronoun.<\/p>\n
\nHim<\/em> is the direct object.<\/p>\n
\nHim<\/em> is an indirect object because you can mentally put the word to<\/em> in front of it. Money<\/em> is the direct object.<\/p>\n
\nYou<\/em> and me<\/em> are the objects of the preposition between<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nIn this sentence, myself<\/em> does not refer back to another noun or pronoun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
