It was he who messed up everything It was him who messed up everything What is the difference between these two sentences? The case of he/him should depend on other considerations, such as, the proper case after the linking verb, is It should be simply a matter of which is more correct, it is he or, it is him my latin education would have me pick the former But my knowledge of colloquial english tells me that the phrase, it was him, is commonly used.
But he's an apple can be mistaken for he is an apple, while he has an apple might be intended This rule doesn't work generally, therefore it can hardly be called a rule. And, when you use a conjunctive adverb,. I know there are different opinions on this issue By common use i mean, can i expect my 2 to convert the statement he is from the usa
All forms of be are auxiliaries) to a position before the subject noun phrase (he in this example), and adds a question intonation if speaking, or a question mark if writing So the result is is he from the usa? Yes, both (s)he and he/she are acceptable abbreviations for usage where space is at a premium and gender of a person is important S/he is not a common abbreviation, and will confuse more users than the other two. Grammatically, for he/she/it we use does or doesn't like in, he doesn't eat meat But these days i'm observing the usage of the above sentence (especially in american movies) like this, he don't eat meat
So, after a lot of observations, i'm assuming that both usages are correct Why is it this is he rather than this is him [duplicate] ask question asked 14 years, 4 months ago modified 14 years, 4 months ago
