Sydney GMAT Prep Private Tutor & Course

I have just completed the tutoring sessions with Angus yesterday. The sessions had a good overall structure, pace and content. In addition, Angus was well prepared with the tailored practice questions and advice on examination techniques. He had a good teaching attitude. The sessions were very helpful to my exam preparation.

There are two pronominal cases: nominative (subject) and objective (object)

• Subject: I, you, he/she/it, we, you, they.
• Object: me, you, him/her/it, us, you, them.

Notice that the second person (both singular and plural) has only one form, you. The object case is used after verbs and prepositions:

• We met her in a bookstore while looking for a GMAT book. She went to school with us

Be careful of objects that consist of a proper noun (name) + a pronoun:

• The puppy looked across the table at Sarah and me reading our GMAT books.

These situations can seem confusing, but there is an easy method to tell which pronoun (nominative or objective) is required. Just remove the noun from the sentence to see if it still makes sense. If it does (as in "The puppy looked across the table at me"), then you have selected the correct pronoun. If it does not (as in "The puppy looked across the table at I''), then you should go back and check whether you selected the correct case for the pronoun (in this case it is the object of a preposition, at, so it should be in the objective case).

The relative pronoun who also has an objective case form, whom:

• I kicked the girl whotried to steal my GMAT prep book.
• (I kicked the girl. She tried to steal my GMAT prep book.)
• I smiled at the girl whom I had kicked.
• (I smiled at the girl. I had kicked her
