Re: nominative and objective pronouns.......confusing!
Do you mean opinion different from one person to the next, or "one grammar book" to the next? If it's personal opinion, it's almost impossible to have everyone agree on all rules considering that languages are forever evolving one way or the other. But isn't there a...

Re: Nominative and objective case
Hi, You might want lo listen to this mp3 file from BBC Learning English (warning: nearly 600kb). Although it focuses on "do'h" ("I'm stupid!", "oh no, not another time!"), the speaker also mentions "duh" as an utterance meaning "everybody knows...

Re: nominative and objective pronouns.......confusing!
This problem of the subject complement is an ongoing debate. It caused because nouns in English don't differenciate between subjective and objective. Only English pronouns do that. In everyday speech and writing the pronouns used in this instance are almost always objective case and if...

Re: nominative and objective pronouns.......confusing!
Find out if your book and your teacher expect the highly formal versions (now old-fashioned, but still encouraged in some grammar books), or the less formal, more modern versions. Once you know that you can answer "correctly" more often!Old version:Use the nominative pronouns for the...

Re: nominative absolute clause..
Yes, it is. This is otherwise referred to in grammar as ABSOLUTE CONSTRUCTION. By definition, it is a reduced adjective or adverb clause that functions as sentence modifier indicating time and causality. This type of construction is commonly used more in writing than in speaking. I hope I've...

Yes! If you go to Jamaica, you'll find out you should say Me like him! Although "I like him" should be ok in high or middle registers.

Re: calories are/is
On second thoughts I believe Yoda would say: "My friend, Maria is." (OSV). Does that mean the predicate nominative is some kind of object? Sorry to be asking such stupid questions but this parser thing really has really baffled me by saying "my friend" was the subject.

Re: calories are/is
So what happens if we were to reverse it: "My friend is Maria", are we also reversing the roles? And what if we were to add a comma: "My friend, is Maria" is that the same? Or is it now an inversion or some kind of Yodaspeak?

Re: calories are/is
Maria is my friend. Maria is the subject. my friend is the predicate nominative. My faith and my morning coffee are my salvation. My faith and my morning coffee is the subject. my salvation is the predicate nominative. The verb agrees with the subject. Five dollars is not a lot to pay for...
