EXERCISES IN FALSE SYNTAX.
NOTE 1, to RULE 13. When a noun or pronoun is the subject of a verb, it
must be in the nominative case.
Who will go? Him and I. How does thee do? Is thee well?
"Him and I;" not proper, because the pronoun _him_ is the subject of the
verb _will go_ understood, therefore him should be in the nominative
case, _he_, according to the above NOTE. (Repeat the NOTE.) _Him_ and I
are connected by the conjunction _and_, and _him_ is in the obj. case,

the NOTE. The verbs, _does_ and _is_, are of the third person, and the
nom. _thou_ is second, for which reason the verbs should be of the
second person, _dost do_ and _art_, agreeably to RULE 4. You may correct
the other examples, _four_ times over.
FALSE SYNTAX.
Him and me went to town yesterday. Thee must be attentive. Him who is
careless, will not improve. They can write as well as me. This is the
man whom was expected. Her and I deserve esteem. I have made greater
proficiency than him. Whom, of all my acquaintances, do you think was
there? Whom, for the sake of his important services, had an office of
honor bestowed upon him.
NOTE 2, to RULE 13. Personal pronouns being used to supply the place of
nouns, should not be employed in the same member of the sentence with
the noun which they represent.
FALSE SYNTAX.
