this Blank needs to be filled with two pronouns that
- 00:28
are both in the subject of case both pronoun share
- 00:32
duties as the subject of the sentence So object cronin's
- 00:35
and possessive pronouns aren't allowed We're not trying to be
- 00:38

- 01:26
to ruin All reflects it pronounce myself herself himself themselves
- 01:30
are almost always used as objects If we ever see
- 01:34
any of these words used as the subject of a
- 01:36
sentence are alarms auto sound thinking all right the only
- 01:39
choice was to subject pronounces option b e and i
- 01:42
are the only pronoun worthy of being the subject We
- 01:45
won't say that allowed you know they might let it
- 01:47
go to their heads We're not trying to be snobby 00:01:49.658 --> [endTime] here
