, time _when_, _how long_, &c.
are generally governed by a preposition _understood_; as, "The horse ran
a mile;" "He came _home_ last June;" "My friend lived four _years_ at
college;" that is, ran _through the space of_ a mile; or, ran _over a
space called_ a mile; _to_ his home _in_ last June; _during_ four years,
&c.

NOTE 1. The prepositions _to_ and _for_ are often understood,
chiefly before the pronouns; as, "Give [to] _me_ a book; Get [for]
_him_ some paper."

2. _To_ or _unto_, is, by some, supposed to be understood after
_like_ and _unlike_; as, "He is _like_ [unto] his brother; She is
_unlike_ [to] him." Others consider this mode of expression an idiom
of the language, and maintain that _like_ governs the objective
following it.

3. Nouns signifying extension, duration, quantity, quality, or
value, are used without a governing word; as, "The Ohio is one
thousand _miles_ long; She is ten _years_ old; My hat is worth ten
_dollars_." These are sometimes considered anomalies. See page 163.

RULE XXXIII.

Conjunctions connect nouns and pronouns in the same case; as, "The
master taught _her_ and _me_ to write;" "_He_ and _she_ are associates."

FALSE SYNTAX.

My brother and him are grammarians.

You and me enjoy great privileges.

Him and I went to the city in company; but John and him returned
without me.

Between you and I there is a great disparity of years.

RULE XXXIV.

Conjunctions generally connect verbs of like moods and tenses; as, "If
thou sincerely _desire, and_ earnestly _pursue_ virtue, she _will_
assuredly _be found_ by thee, _and prove_ a rich reward."

NOTE 1. When different moods and tenses are connected by
conjunctions, the nominative must be repeated; as, "He _may return_,
but _he will_ not _tarry_."

2. Conjunctions implying contingency or doubt, require the
subjunctive mood after them; as, "_If_ he _study_, he will improve."
See pages 135, 145, and 155.

3. The conjunctions _if_, _though_, _unless_, _except_, _whether_,
and _lest_, generally require the subjunctive mood after them.

4. Conjunctions of a positive and absolute nature, implying no
doubt, require the indicative mood; as, "_As_ virtue _advances, so_
vice _recedes_."

FALSE SYNTAX.

Did he not tell me his fault, and entreated me to forgive him?

Professing regard, and to act differently,
