Pronoun case exercise 2

✓ Useful for TOEFL ✓ Useful for Cambridge B2/C1






DID YOU KNOW?

Part 2 targets the pronoun case situations that still trip up advanced writers — including in elliptical clauses.

Once you’ve mastered the basics, pronoun case gets genuinely tricky in comparisons (She is taller than I/me), in appositive constructions (We students/Us students protested), and after as and than. These are exactly the constructions that Cambridge C1/C2 and TOEFL target — because they require understanding the underlying sentence structure, not just applying a memorised rule.

IELTS Band 8 descriptors specifically mention the ability to handle complex grammatical structures accurately. Pronoun case in non-standard positions is one of those structures. This exercise covers the cases that Exercise 1 doesn’t.
