Complete the following sentences using an appropriate subject or object pronoun.
1We scored as many goals as ...............
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both are possible: "them" is usual in everyday English after "as" without a verb, and "they" (short for "as they did") is formal. The possessive "their" needs a noun after it.
2James and ............... were present there.
Wrong!
The pronoun is part of the subject, so "I" is correct.
3I can sing as well as ...............
Select 2 answers.
Wrong!
Both are possible: "her" is usual in everyday English after "as" without a verb, and "she" (short for "as she can") is formal. The possessive pronoun "hers" does not fit here.

Wrong!
Before the verb "does", the subject pronoun "he" is correct.
5Between you and ..............., I don't trust him.
Wrong!
After the preposition "between", the object pronoun "me" is correct.

After the preposition "for", the object pronoun "me" is correct.

Before the verb "do", the subject pronoun "I" is correct.
