Is the pronoun usage in this sentence correct It was her and I that took the test?
The pronoun 'her' is correct. The pronoun 'I' is incorrect as direct object of the verb 'was'. Both pronouns should be the objective case. The correct pronouns are: "It was her and me that took the test." (It was her that took the test. It was me that took the test.) When the verb is a linking verb, the objects of that verb use the subjective pronouns. Example: The test takers were she and I. (test takers = she and I) Although the verb 'was' is often a linking verb, in the example sentence it is not. The subject of the sentence, 'it' does not refer to 'her and me'.
