What makes you angry ? What matters the most to you? vineeta.chandekar Joined on Wed, Sep 2 2009 New Member 01

	Cool Breeze  +  950443 Fri, 23 Oct 09 08:20 AM In all your sentences what is the grammatical subject and it is 3rd person singular, as the s in the verb shows. In the first two sentences you is the object of brings and makes respectively and in the last sentence you is an indirect object. The grammatical reson an object form is required is the preposition to. However, you has no separate object form. Cf: What matters the most to him?

	Avangi  +  950454 Fri, 23 Oct 09 08:29 AM Hi, vineeta. Welcome to English forums.  Thanks for joining us. Actually, "What" is the subject of these sentences.  In this case it's a pronoun, third person singular.  "You" is the direct object of the verb. It's like, "Who gave you that pencil?", except in this case "you" is the indirect  object, and the tense is simple past. "Who wants me for a partner?" Best wishes,  - A.
