Learn the idea

Subject pronouns such as I and we perform the clause’s action; object forms me and us receive it or follow a preposition. Joined nouns do not change that case rule.

Temporarily remove the other noun in a compound phrase and test the pronoun alone. Restore the full phrase after checking.

Original worked input: Original excerpt A: Jo and ___ arrived; blank refers to the single speaker. The task is to use pronoun case. The answer is “I”. Evidence: Jo and ___ arrived; blank refers to the single speaker. Reasoning: I is supported because the blank is the single speaker performing arrived or read, so it needs subject I; in a joined subject, testing I alone confirms that rule. Between takes object forms in this construction.

Changed-input task: Original excerpt A: Lee invited ___; blank refers to the single speaker receiving the invitation. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Lee invited ___; blank refers to the single speaker receiving the invitation. Reasoning: me is supported because the blank receives thanked or invited, so the single speaker needs object me; removing another joined object, where present, confirms that rule. Between takes object forms in this construction.
