Week #2 Grammar Post: Pronouns

One of the areas I often struggle with deals with pronouns. There are times when I’m not sure where to place the pronouns, or which pronouns to use. I found some helpful advice in a grammar book.
1“Think of a linking verb sentence as reversible. That is, the pronoun you put after a linking verb should be the same kind of pronoun that you put before a linking verb.”

Incorrect Example: “The winner of the election is him!”
“Him is the winner of the election!”

Correct Example: “The winner of the election is he!”
“He is the winner of the election!”

“If you pay attention to linking verbs, you’ll choose the right pronouns for your sentence. Subject pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, they, who, and whoever. Pronouns that are not allowed to be subjects include me, him, her, us, them, whom, and whomever.”
