eng.g6.f.gr.pronoun_case
Use pronouns in the proper case — subjective, objective, possessive (CCSS L.6.1.a)
Apply the 3-case rule (MG-7): SUBJECTIVE (I/we/he/she/they/who) for subject of verb; OBJECTIVE (me/us/him/her/them/whom) for object of verb or preposition; POSSESSIVE (my/our/his/her/their/whose) for ownership. Recognize the common error 'between you and I' (objective case required after the preposition 'between' — 'between you and me'). Distinguish 'who' (subjective) from 'whom' (objective).

Common misconceptions
- Uses subjective case after a preposition ('between you and I' / 'gave it to him and I') — should be objective ('between you and me' / 'gave it to him and me').
- Uses 'who' as object ('Who did you give it to?' — should be 'Whom did you give it to?' in formal writing; though 'who' is increasingly accepted in informal speech).
