Dear coaches,
I will be grateful to you, if you check out my grammar errors plus explain to me, in brief, why some sentences are correct and some not.
Sentences:
–She has a laptop same as mine.
– She and I have the same laptops.
– I have a laptop same as hers.
– She has a laptop similar to mine.
– I have a laptop just like the one she has.
– I love her and so does she.
– She has shown symptoms of love toward me and so have I.
– Keep it secret, it’s only between you and me.
– These people and she studies in ABC school. OR she and these people study in ABC school.
– You and I have to go to the same Church this Sunday.
– She has an account in the bank where I have too.
– My balance in the bank is less than hers. (…than she has.)
– They are hungry and I am too. (…and so am I.)
Thanks to all for your help.
Warm Regards
Noren
PS: More examples requested. They, their, theirs, he, him, his, she, her, hers, etc.
Congratulations on using “me.” Some Americans do say, “It’s only between you and I.” But that is “bad” English.
The rule is very easy: after a preposition, you always use the objective form of a pronoun, such as “me,” “him”, “us,” etc.
(NOT the subjective forms of “I,” “he,” or “we.”)
Here are some examples that I have made up:
This cake is for her and me.
I visited Disneyland with him.
They looked at us.
Thank you for your note. You are very welcome. I want you to get the best advice possible, so I will let the language coaches answer you. I am sure that they will answer you shortly (soon).
