Misunderstanding the use of me/him/her/them/us.

I’m aware that when the pronoun is the object of a sentence we use the following: me instead of I, they instead of them and so on.

Is He a teacher?

Why should I say her instead of she if in this case I cannot identify a direct object?

When I answer, would I tell

Her, she is both a teacher.

She

is also a teacher. So: If she is teaching people, I take her seriously.

I am confused.

Would it really help?

When answering, you want to use the objective form (” Her, she is also…”), otherwise you sound like you are stuttering. In general, I think of it being an ellipsis of a longer phrase, which in this case would be as for her, which would also explain why it’s objective form in the question (but this doesn’t entirely explain why subjective form is impossible). What is full form (as for the girl) more common? Why not just a full form?

How should I say “her, she…” to add emphasis to a subject that follows it (“she”). Do you see it very often in writing, but it’s sometimes written differently, such as on its own as a question: “Her?” Is she, as I say, “she’s also…”

He is a teacher. And she is a teacher….” isn’t grammatical but il is.. Though only in the piece is the fragment “and her? In an email, the idea would be better expressed as: “He is a teacher. What do you think about the girl? In this example, “her” is the object. Most sentences are complete sentences, and the grammar of the sentences is retained by the brain. When we talk about action that was started in a previous sentence they tend to end with a “person” or “description” (meaning that it is something that is already started in another sentence).

Is it true that this volunteer looked around the

crowd? Who do we give extra money to? ” “Him,” a woman said, pointing towards an injured soldier.

In this exchange, the woman leaves out the idea “We should give the money to…” but speaks the rest of the sentence “him. What

are the empty section and the sign of exchange?

If the man asked the woman what she was doing next and then pointed at the man, “And her?” Is she a teacher? & why does she do it so often? ‘What are some of the other questions asked of you by the school principal? She is a teacher.” How

do I prove this if I have encountered many instances using incorrect pronouns in my questions on StackExchange?

I would say “he is a teacher, and she is a teacher”, “How do I explain to myself this? What do you mean by “and what is she?” I

don’t think there is any need to repeat the pronoun in the answer. She is a teacher too, is quite sufficient.
