“My favorite teacher gave ______ and ______ extra credit on our project.”
- Teacher gave something → needs objective pronouns (him, me).
- Never put me first in a list → put it last.
- That’s why “him, me” is the only correct choice
π©Identify the grammar rule
The verb is gave.
Who received (got) something?
→ Indirect objects of the verb.
Indirect objects must be in objective case.
Objective-case pronouns:
- me
- him
- her
- us
- them
NOT correct (nominative):
- I
- he
- she
- we
- they
So in this blank, we must use objective pronouns.
❌ 1. me, him Both are objective case — BUT
Grammar rule: When listing people, “me” should come last.
So me should never come first.
❌ 2. he, I
Both are nominative pronouns.
But the sentence needs objective pronouns (receivers).
❌ 3. him, I
- him = correct (objective)
- I = wrong (nominative)
