Which sentence uses the correct pronoun?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. This is a secret between you and me.
- Step 1: After a preposition like 'between' use the object form.
- Step 2: 'Between you and me' is correct; 'I' is a subject pronoun.
Answer
This is a secret between you and me.
Why not the others: This is a secret between you and I.: 'I' is a subject pronoun and should not follow 'between'. This is a secret between you and myself.: 'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun and is not needed here. This is a secret between yourself and I.: Both pronouns are incorrect.
