Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 It depends on the context: She and her husband went to the grocery store. The dog bit her and her husband. You just have to make sure that the she/her matches with the verb. She = went, bit = her. Hope that helps! Jen grammar question Is it " she and her husband " or " her and her husband " . I have tried finding the correct answer using the internet trying to find a grammar site but my google search comes up about with as many " she and her husband " references as " her and her husband " ?

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 It is she. The way you test is to say the sentence without the husband. Like, if the sentence is, " _____ and her husband are going to town. " Say it both ways: 1. Her is going to town. 2. She is going to town. So it would be she. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Webmedx employee Career Step graduate, 10/02/01 Experience: 10 months My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ grammar question Is it " she and her husband " or " her and her husband " .

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 I would just try both ways with a verb following the subject. For example, " She and her husband went shopping. " and " Her and her husband went shopping. " If you take out the " and her husband " part of the subject, you would have " She went shopping. " and " Her went shopping. " That's what I do when in doubt. Hope it helps! ) grammar question Is it " she and her husband " or " her and her husband " .

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi Bev, A little trick I learned a long time ago, it depends on the remainder of the sentence. If you take out " and her husband " and it makes sense, that is the one you use. JMO. grammar question > Is it " she and her husband " or " her and her husband " . I have tried finding > the correct answer using the internet trying to find a grammar site but my > google search comes up about with as many " she and her husband " references > as " her and her husband " ? > > Thanx! > > Bev W. > > > > > TO REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THIS MAILING LIST send a blank email to nmtc-unsubscribe > > PLEASE VISIT THE NMTC WEB SITE - http://go.to/nmtc > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
