Diego Simão  +  469048 Sat, 26 Jan 08 02:07 PM Look at this sentence: This is he/him speaking. What do you think of this? I will choose he because the word there is a subject I think. Is this true? Diego Simão Joined on Fri, Dec 22 2006 New Member 51 Sois tout que tu veux devenir!

Hi Kooyeen Strictly speaking, it should be 'That's he'.  Informally 'That's him' could be used. Yoong Liat Joined on Mon, Sep 4 2006 Veteran Member 6,757

	Philip  +  469082 Sat, 26 Jan 08 03:50 PM Languages are all in a constant state of evolution.  "That's he" is the correct form.  I believe it won't be long before nobody would choose this over "that's him".  We might end up with an official set of disjunctive pronouns, like the French.

	Yankee  +  469089 Sat, 26 Jan 08 04:02 PM I don't think people would commonly say "That's he".  However, it is still pretty common to say "This is he/she" on the telephone when someone calls and asks to speak to you, and you are the one who answered the phone.  For example: (The telephone rings at John's house.) John picks up the phone and says:  Hello? Caller:  May I speak to John Brown, please? John:  This is he.
