Pronouns in the nominative case are the subjects of a sentence or a clause, or as a subject complement. That means they're the ones doing the action. In a sentence like "He wrote his mother a letter", 'he' is in the nominative case. A subject complement is a noun, pronoun, or an adjective that follows a linking verb to restate or rename the subject. In a sentence like "The manager is he", 'he is in the nominative case as a subject complement (manager=he). The nominative pronouns are: I, we, you, he, she, it, they, who. Some pronouns can be used as the subject or the object of a sentence or phrase, for example you and it.
The appropriate pronoun is 'he'. In the sentence the pronoun he, takes the place of the noun 'teacher' as the subject complement following the linking verb 'will be'. A pronoun functioning as a subject complement (predicate nominative) is always a nominative (subjective) form.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign:the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister)orthe subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).
The form 'Dan and I' is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as subject complement after a linking verb (which restates the subject of the sentence).The form 'Dan and me' is used as the object of a verb or a preposition, and as an object complement (which modifies or restates the direct object of the sentence).Examples:Are you going to lunch with Dan and me? (object of the preposition 'with')Dan and I are going to lunch with you. (subject of the sentence)They enjoyed the lunch that Dan and I brought. (subject of the relative clause)They called Dan and me to go to lunch. (direct object of the verb 'called')Their lunch-mates were Dan and I. (subject complement, restates the subject 'lunch-mates')We were their lunch-mates, Dan and me. (object complement, restates the direct object 'lunch-mates')
A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause, as the object of a verb or a preposition, and as a subject complement or an object complement.Examples:Her idea was really helpful. (subject of the sentence)We made good use of the time that the idea has saved. (subject of the relative clause)I have an idea. (direct object of the verb 'have')I'm looking for a good idea. (object of the preposition 'for')Your plan is a good idea. (subject complement, plan = idea)That is a plan, a good idea. (object complement, plan = idea)
'I' is the subject of a verb, or the complement of the verb 'to be'. 'Me' is the object of a verb.Examples:I am his mother.I don't know if I will want to do that.Can I take the dog for a walk?It is I.He has never met me.Please give it to me.They are writing me a letter.Will they hurt me?
A noun can be used in a sentence as the subject of the sentence or of a clause within the sentence, as the object or indirect object of a transitive verb or its present participle used as a gerund in the sentence, as the objective complement (or predicate nominative) of a linking verb or its gerund, as the object of a preposition, as the subject or object of an infinitive, as a nominative of address, as an appositive, or as a nominative absolute.
The word 'unique' is an adjective, a word used to describe a noun.An adjective can be used preceding the noun it describes.Example: My grandmother was a unique person for her time.An adjective can be a subject complement following a linking verb.
