grammar question
" the instructors in the course were Donald and he"
is this sentence grammatically correct?
shouldn't it be " Donald and him" instead of Donald and he,since an object pronoun must be used under the presence of a verb,in this case,"were" was placed before the proper noun Donald
many thanks
"you and I" is actually correct in a way

答案

同意lz的,donald and he,you and i 都是可以的.
习惯上是这么说,但我在网上又查了一下,这种情况叫谓语主格(predicate nominative),虽然代词在动词后,但这个动词是 is,are 是可以用i 代替 me,he代替him,she代替her...
我看到的例句是 the winners are you and I.
平时听到别人接电话也常常是 this is she...很少听到 this is her...
