In Predicates^x, Nominative^x, Pronouns^x

Congratulations on your hard work. - A.Edit. "Why is the article "the" essential here?"

Hi, Eddie, thanks for catching my "it's." I make that error about 60% of the time and catch it on re-read about 90% of the time.I think A. Stars answered you well on "That is he." There are two issues: the grammar issue, and the usage issue.Re the grammar, there are...
