Answer to Question 1

Follow these rules for using objective case pronouns correctly in writing.
Rule 1: Pronouns as Objects of Verbs, Prepositions, or Infinitives: Use the objective case
pronoun forms me, us, him, her, them, whom, and whomever, when the pronouns
are objects of verbs, prepositions, or infinitives.
Rule 2: Subjects of Infinitives: Use the objective case pronoun forms for subjects of infinitives.
Rule 3: A Noun or Pronoun Precedes To Be: Use the objective case pronoun following the
infinitive verb to be when a noun or pronoun immediately precedes to be.

Answer to Question 2

These three rules can be followed for using nominative case pronouns correctly in writing.
Rule 1: Subject of a Verb: If a pronoun is the subject of a verb, that pronoun must be
nominative.
Rule 2: Complement of a Being Verb: The being verbs are am, is, are, was, and
were; and be, being, and been with helping verbs. If a pronoun follows and completes
the meaning of a being verb, that pronoun must be nominative.
Rule 3: Pronoun Completes the Infinitive: If a pronoun follows and completes the meaning of
the infinitive verb to be when to be has no subject, then that pronoun must be nominative.
