Rodney didn't get the yard landscaped by himself. Him and Charles worked together to plant trees, shrubs, and flowers. When the homeowners saw the yard, they were thrilled with the results.

Question

Which underlined word, if any, demonstrates an error?
A.
himself
B.
they
C.
No error
D.
him

Answer 1

The underlined word that demonstrates an error is D. him.

The correct form should be "he" instead of "him" because it is part of the subject of the sentence. The correct phrasing would be: "He and Charles worked together to plant trees, shrubs, and flowers."
