Asked by Kelley

Which word should be used?

The most dissatisfied citizens were we/us residents of the Tremont neighborhood.
Answered by Ms. Sue
we

"We" is a predicate nominative after the linking verb "were." It must be in the subjective case.

What about these?

They found a place where Bonnie and him/he could get better.

Is it he since it is an indirect object or him because it is a predicate pronoun?
Answered by Ms. Sue
He is correct.

"Bonnie and he" are the subjects of the verb "could get."

An easy way to see that is to omit "Bonnie and."

They found a place where he could get better.
