7th grade Pronouns in the correct case? help!?

Let me start off by saying...


Don't say, Do your own homework! Because this isn't homework. I went to tutoring and the teacher gave me a review packet for my test on monday. This isn't a grade, i just want to know how you figure this stuff out. Because i can NOT afford a bad grade. Here are some questions...





1. My parents recently began allowing __ to use the stove.


A) I: subject


B) I: direct object


C) me: direct object


D) subject


On question one, i have narrowed it down to choice C and choice D. i know the word "me" is right, but i dont know what the second part is. i dont remember covering this. So, my question is, what is a direct object, and what is the subject. Also, how do you find these in this particular sentence. Also, a website might be helpful.





2. The first day, I decided to make dinner for __


A) they: direct object


B) them: indirect object


C) them: object of the prepostion


D) they: subject


This one, i have narrowed it down to B and C.

7th grade Pronouns in the correct case? help!?
1) C - because object + verb + who/what = direct object. Plus, it may help to learn the subject vs. object forms of pronouns: ie. "I" - Subject and "Me" - Object

2) C - because "for", the preposition, is referring to "them" (plus, it is the only noun after the word "for")

Good luck!
Reply:question 1: "me" (c) .... parents is the subject %26amp; began allowing are the verbs. "me" is what is began allowing, so it's the direct object.





question 2: "them" (c) ...I is the subject %26amp; decided is the verb. The preposition for is the beginning of the prepositional phrase, and them is the end of the phrase.





Prepositional phrases start with prepositions and end with nouns or pronouns. These nouns/pronouns are objects of the preposition. Here's some prepositional phrases:


to the store


for my mom


with my friends


in the house


over the last few years


of time


by the way


between friends


under the table





Prepositions give direction or place (in, out, over, under, etc.) and the prepositional phrase in entirety can be an adjective phrase or adverbial, depending on what it modifies. tmi???





Once you know what a preposition is, you'll be fine. They're all over the place. One word of caution: "to" isn't always a preposition. sometimes it's part of a verb phrase. But that's the only word I can think of to be careful of.
Reply:1.) I think it is C


2.) C for sure
