| Task | Jake, we haven't seen you for ages. When will you come and see ______ ? |
|---|---|
| Answer | 4 |
| a | them |
| b | we |
| c | our |
| d | us |
| comment | In the test sentence ‘Jake, we haven't seen you for ages. When will you come and see ______ ?’ some personal object pronoun is omitted. In the English language there are 7 personal object pronouns: me,you, him, her, it, us, and them.We use personal object pronouns after (1) verbs as the object of the verb (I love her, but she doesn't love me.; I saw her at the university yesterday.) and after (2) prepositions: He is talking to her about them.As the context is given in the test: ‘Jake, we haven't seen you for ages…’, it is evident that in the next sentence ‘When will you come and see ______ ?’ the speakers (‘we’) invite Jake to their place. Therefore,the personal object pronoun that correlates with the personal subject pronoun ‘we’ is ‘us’: ‘we’ (the personal subject pronoun) → ‘us’ (the personal object pronoun).Therefore, we choose ANSWER 4: us. |
