+10+ +Remember that _me_, _him_, _her_, _them_, _us_ and _whoed he and I too ed him and me too much_ In an attelish, this mistake is so often made Always use the object form as the object of a verb or preposition
+11+ +When a participle is used as a _noun_, and a pronoun is used with it, the pronoun should always be in the _possessive_ form+ We oing there was athere was aabsent fro absent fro with the with the_ This should be, _Your talking to hi_ Watch this and wherever you have used a participle as a _noun_, use the pronoun in the _possessive_ form, as you would with any other noun
+12+ +Watch carefully that the nurees with the nu of one person or thing use a singular pronoun If you are speaking ofin your antecedent, use the plural pronoun For example: _Each man must do his oork_ _The soldiers fully understood their danger_
+13+ +When a singular noun, in the coender (this ), is the antecedent of the pronoun, it is customary for us to use the masculine pronoun+ For example:
Every student should send in _his_ examination paper promptly
Every member of the class may select _his_ own subject
Do not use the pronoun _their_ when the antecedent is a singular noun
