Example Question #21 : Correcting Other Errors
Replace the underlined portion with the answer choice that results in a sentence that is clear, precise, and meets the requirements of standard written English.
It ought to be me with whom you share the story with, not her.
I with whom you share the story with, not her.
me with whom you share the story with, not she.
me with whom you share the story, not her.
me with who you share the story with, not she.
me with who you share the story with, not her.
me with whom you share the story, not her.
The verb "to be" means that we would use the subject forms of pronouns, except after the infinitive where we would use the object form. This sentence, however, contains an unnecessary and extraneous "with."
Example Question #22 : Correcting Other Errors
Replace the underlined portion with the answer choice that results in a sentence that is clear, precise, and meets the requirements of standard written English.
It's time for ballet class!
Its
It is'
It
Its'
It's
It's
"It's" is correct because it is the contraction "it is." "Its" is incorrect because it is a possessive impersonal pronoun which would need a pronoun-verb construction in order to be correct. "Its'" is improper construction.
